So will the 2010 turbo's w/PDK have a launch control?

 

Don’t all the 996TT and 997TT have the GT1 engines?<O</O

 

yes.
0-62 in 3.4 seconds, with PDK, sport chrono package and launch control.

 

its actually 3.2 claimed...and it should be faster than that when it is tested.

 

over here we have official 3.4sec., maybe u mean 0-60 not 62 in 3.2? anyway, the TT is even more damned fast now.

yes until this mk II 997 TT

 

It will be interesting to see if the GT2 & GT3 in 2011 use the new engine. That will tell a lot about what Porsche really thinks about it. My money is on those models retaining the GT1 block.

 

Then perhaps all ‘07-‘09 997TT’s would be preferable over the 3.8 2010, not just the ’09. But then that depends if these 3.8’s don’t hold up in the hands of the aftermarket HP north of 700HP.

 

Like the PDK, but +20hp is a bit light. You guys think this will be strictly an MSRP deal initially? Then, ignoring the GT1 block going away, it'll be a tough choice between getting a 2008 or 2009 at a nice discount or paying sticker for the 2010. What do you think?

 

Porsche is hoping the PDK and 3.8 liters, +20hp is enough for a sell and for some people maybe it is. I’m going with what’s proven to make the reliable monster-HP#’s, the GT1 997TT.

 

The 3 is moving too... only reason why they carried the old block is because that is what the 2010 race cars will be using. Corporate block will follow in 2011.

 

I wanna know how much that new "Dynamic Engine Mount Ststem" costs to replace.

New technology is great and all but having magnetic fluid sensitive mounts is getting a little out of hand.

 

I believe the new technology will reduce track times, kill gt-ricers and generally make their owners smile...

 

BostonRocket-

Sorry for the late response. The new Turbo DFI engine is a wet sump engine, unlike the reliable racing 'dry sump' Metzger engine of current models.

No matter what hand-waving Porsche says about the new engine, according to Alois Ruf, it is not as strong an engine (see previous post on this thread).

Cheers- Gerry

 

I am happy I have an 07, I never plan on really selling it.
Maybe it will end up being a classic
