PDK won't be in MY09 (perhaps later). PDK is currently limited to 325 ft/lbs of torque.

Wheel choice appears to remain the same (at least there haven't been any new wheels revealed on the test mules that I'm aware of).

I think the coolest additions on the '09s are the updated electronics and the option to get the GT sport seats for only a couple hundred bucks over the sport adaptive seats. If I'm not mistaken those are the same seats that come in the GT2 and they look amazing in person. Really wish I could upgrade to them, but buying them now its $9800

The sport bucket seats (Option P03) have been shown as available on the '08TT for awhile now on the Porsche website car configurator. Price shows as a $430 increment over the adaptive sport seats. On the GT2 the sport buckets are shown as Option 388 at no extra charge. They appear identical but can't confirm.

I'm skeptical of that. Historically, they tend to release the Carrera, Carrera 2S, etc first followed by the C4, C4S and then the Turbo. So I'd imagine that the next Turbo won't be out until well past 2011.

Yeah that is highly suspect for the 911tt to be coming out again so soon. You never know though I guess.

You are correct. Could be a 997.5 Turbo With PDK and LED's We will just have to wait and see.

WHY??!! The GTR is rated at 435lb/ft but actually produces in excess of 500lb/ft and it has a dual clutch
