There is nothing like a normaly aspirated car no LAG!
There is a reason why PAG doesn't race the M96, because it sucks. It was designed to make $$ for PAG, because it's a lot cheaper to make, since it don't gots no dry sump.Originally posted by Marc996Miami

How is that important you ask? Well, if you are even remotely thinking about doing DE someday, that block is just not track worthy in the same way that the M64 is. The M64, which BTW, is found on the GT2, GT3, and the Turbo.
Oh, and why do you think on the 996 you can buy an oiling kit that voids your warranty but alleviates that oil starvation under high cornering load? Right, PAG knows that this is a problem with the M96.
Going from 996TT to a 997S is a step backwards. I am waiting for my 997GT2.

No disagreement on the M96 block it is not very stong and has oil starvation issues when tracked. However the M64 block is 20 years old and will be replaced in the new 997 TT coming out. I dont know if you know the history of Valve leaks that engine has as well as issues with connecting rods? Originally posted by stuka

As far as the 997s being a step backwards I disagree this is a far better car in many many ways.
