09 TT gets facelift and 500HP

Now that we know the Carrera are getting minor facelift, when do you think we can confirmation on 09 TT?

I bet whatever changes there will be 87 pages of discussion as to whether it is better or worse than a GT-R.

We won't see that here since we all know the Porsche is better and any inkling of sensible discussion will quickly degenerate into name calling and insults

I've heard several different times now that the Turbo will not get any updates for 09.

I'm hoping that's not true but some of the info is coming from dealers.

Why is that so impressive? It's not like its N/A. Its got two decently sized turbos to help it. You can make over 1,000whp out of an Inline 4 if you put a big enough turbo on it.

Im pretty sure my brothers 996 Turbo with the Protomotive 650 package is just as reliable. I was complimenting the Porsche by stating that 500hp is nothing special for these motors.

I am hoping it will be 09, which mean we should see the face lift TT by Oct? But some of the sites are guessing in 09... there are more sites for this update now compare to a month back, but it seems to generate from one source...
