Not enough to move. GT2 is the way to go...I wonder how far off that is.

eh 473. That number is just kinda low for my liking. I like the 502 torque.

Is this accurate? Wasn't the number supposed to be 480?

I read the article. I do not understand this "moments of boost" thing where the torque jumps to 502. How can we determine when it will be in the high boost and when it wont. 50lb/ft makes a big difference in the torque department.

Nothing like a Speed Yellow 911 in the snow,...then again, I might be biased!

473 bhp
457-502 tq (don't really understand this too much in regards to the boost)
3400 lbs
.31 cd

Not bad, but, will it be enough to compete or beat the other markets? ( F430, Gallardo SE, C6 Z06)

Thanks for posting the article. The most impressive thing about the article is the 90lbs weight reduction. Quite a pleasant surprise.

BTW, Don't forget that Porsche is notorious for under estimating their power figures. Once this car officially comes out and is tested, it will definitely be the leader of the pack once again.
