Looks good, shame about the demise of the GT1 block though.

the blue one is a bad photoshop. the side mirrors change for 09 onwards and the exhaust tips also changed.
The black turbo shows the changes however, looks fine outside of the ugly dumbo side mirrors.

The 996TT's will have found their footing with the demise of the GT1 block, if this is in fact true....

The GT1 will be a an engineering legend not unlike the 427 side oiler (still develops 750hp today) or the Dodge 426 Hemi which still develops 800hp in modern-day trim.

Difference here is that the fabulous GT1 will achieve the same HP figures (may I have a pair of larger bolt-on compressors and a software upgrade please?) with disgusting smoothness and daily driveability while achieving 25mpg when you're not on boost all of the time. By that measure, the iron legends of yesteryear don't really stack up.
