997 TT Expected numbers (HP) ??

Hi,

Does anyone in here has an idea of what would the numbers be as for HP and TQ for the new 997 Turbos. Do you think it will outperform the 996TT by alot, combining all factors ?

Cheers
Bo

I can't see it exceeding 500 HP, they will always leave room for power upgrades in the later years, In which ofcourse they will charge (rape) accordingly.

I agree with msindi.... look at the M6 for example...507hp but 3771lbs... 0-60 in mid 4's.... 997TT if 485hp (give or take) will be high 3's.... IMO

"BUENO!!!"

Shouldn't it be mid 3's?
