Beautiful! But I actually like it more in white, with the bottom lip, rockers and apron painted body color. It gives it a more aggressive lowered effect. I hope there is a factory option for it.
BTW, I am number one at my dealer and they are telling me it will be an early spring 08' car.

Are the specs official, I was expecting sub 3.5 0-60.

I would much rather keep the 997TT and mod it because I really do want AWD. I love the way the GT2 looks so you can bet that I'll try to get the same look. Stay tuned on that.

997 GT2 press release
ATLANTA, 16 July 1007 - With a stunning 530 turbocharged horsepower and the most revolutionary design in the industry, Porsche will reveal its most powerful production 911 ever on September 11, 2007 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Based on the current 911 Turbo, the 911 GT2 will easily ascend to lead the impressive Porsche family of vehicles.
New features such as large air intakes at the front and the rear wing, coupled with the rear-wheel drive and manual six-speed gearbox, express the elite performance abilities that are exclusive to this outstanding model. This high-performance athlete accelerates to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds and reaches a top track speed of 204 mph.
530-Horsepower Twin-Turbo Engine
The power unit of the new 911 GT2 is based on the six-cylinder boxer engine of the 911 Turbo, with air supply driven by two exhaust gas turbochargers featuring variable turbine geometry (VTG). The 3.6-litre boxer engine achieves a maximum output of 530 (SAE) horsepower, an increase of 50 horsepower from the previous 911 GT2. The power increase is provided by two turbochargers with a larger compressor wheel and a flow-optimized turbine housing raising turbocharger pressure to an even higher level.
Decreased Fuel Consumption
The new 911 GT2's expansion intake manifold, which uses oscillating air in the intake during the cooler expansion phase, keeps the temperature of the fuel/air mixture even lower than in the 911 Turbo. This results in a significant increase in all-round efficiency, with fuel consumption down by up to 15 percent under full load despite the increase in engine output. This is a genuine innovation for turbocharged power units.
Functional Design Features
A number of elements set the new 911 GT2 apart including the new achievements in emission management and control. This is the first Porsche homologated for the road to feature a muffler and tailpipes made of titanium as standard equipment. This expensive material reduces weight by approximately 50 percent vs. a comparable component made of stainless steel.
The new 911 GT2 comes as standard with PCCB brakes featuring brake discs made of a composite carbon fiber/ceramic compound ensuring highly consistent and maximum stopping power. Also standard is the electronically controlled Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system.
The GT2 comes on 19-inch light-alloy wheels filled with 235/35 ZR 19 front sport tires and 325/30 ZR 19 rear sport tires. It is scheduled to make its North American debut in early 2008 at a US price of $191,700.

I'm thinking Arctic Silver over black, or paint to sample Tungsten Silver (Aston Martin colour) over black.
I saw tungsten silver on a DB9 at Heathrow airport...it was a fantastic silver, really vibrant.
