Why is it always said that the 997 is "newly forged" when it's essentialy the same engine? I've seen countless references to "completely redesigned from the ground" up... which is a bunch of BS.

It's because 80% of the parts in the 997 are claimed by the factory to be new. The engine is also a 3.8...
The AM V8 is definitely the better looking car, HANDS DOWN. Let's see if it has the performance to back up those stunning good looks.

Sorry guys, but unless it's got at least 400hp, I can't be bothered.
