And oh does it look the hotness. Interesting that the claim is that it will have 450hp. Any difference in power to 997TT should be mitigated by the weight difference I'd think.

Unlikely the dealer will give you any discount.

Is this still going to be a 997? If so might make the resale on the 07 and 08 GT3RS a little cheaper, which I wouldnt mind at all

Spoke to my dealer. This car is happening for 2010. There is a dealer meeting later this month in Spain to go over the 997 refresh along with the GT3 and RS. Nothing about the turbo. One thing is for sure it will have the PDK along with at least 450 hp.
