Any "inside" info on 997 turbo

Will there be a 997 turbo? When will it be released in the US? Any information on it as of yet?

best guess, MY2006 if porsche is in a hurry, otherwise 2007

i expect the DSG system to debut on the turbo also, and to be the only alternative to the manual, ala the BMW M3.

testing seems to be heating up, and with the model announcements every 6 months, things are looking up for the 'top' 997
