This also means that my 09 brakes are probably a carryover & not an improvement as I had believed! Oh well...

the new standard carrera has substantially upgraded brakes. They are now the same size as the S.

The new Cayman S w/PDK might give the old 997S a run for it's money right now. I drove one the other day and it felt really quick.

The new PDK in the 911S with sport chrono is insane though. I need one bad

Are you sure the new C2S is up 30 hp? Anyways, the PDK is sick isnt it? Def felt fast...even if it wasnt really much faster
