Wild, still blows me away to see a RHD p-car. The S is awsome, can't wait for the TT 997. Will it be AWD?

That video was funny in the begining. Once driving, the S seems to perform great. I think it's a good car for a strong package w/o need for performance modifications. That active suspension does not seem to be upgradeable with it's electronic dampening feature. Perhaps there is no need and will save people the money on suspension upgrades. No Moton's for that baby....

OK, I will admit, the S really looked good out there. I was looking closely at the suspension response and I didn't see the pogoing that goes on with the 996 cars. It will be very interesting to see how it fares.
Funny video. I still like Tiff better though.

I which I had access to a driving facility like that to play with the limit w/o collision consequences with walls and other cars. What a blast that would be....

I loved the review. I agree they should have changed a little bit more preformance wise on the new version, but the S version with the sports package is damn nice.

It's a real shame that Top Gear isn't on in the U.S.; it's hands down the best car show I've ever seen. The 997 sure looks great.
