Is this actually coming out , if so , when & what do you think the changes will be.

Just had our order for the GT2 bounce (not suprised BUT in all honesty , im not "that" taken by it.)

No, there is no news.

However, logical speculation suggests that there will be a second series run towards the end of the 997s life (c.09/10).

Best you can do is submit a 'letter of intent' to your OPC.

My OPC where very cagey over when it is coming out - however they said it would be likely to come out once the facelifted 997's start rolling out next year - they have my letter of intent on file...the thought of a 3.8 with 450bhp is very appealing!

Autocar said in this week's addition that the facelifted Turbo will have 500bhp and their DSG style box - imagine if that gearbox was on the new GT3RS!

Am debating whether to get a 997TT or a Gallardo until the GT3RS is out (though with the short supply of GT2's and peoples problems with getting those I am not confident of getting a GT3RS) - but worried what the impact will be of the facelifted Turbo being immient (already at the 'Ring so guess 12 months away at most) will have on current 997TT values...any thoughts?

My 996TT took a nose dive in value when the 997TT came out...do we expect a similar situtation?

Has anyone any thoughts on which one is best out of the 997TT or Gallardo? Will be used as a second car.

Yes it's going to be the 3.8 engine and
weigh less than 1200lbs, and comes with the next generation
very latest Porsche ceramic brakes, that really do
last 100,000 miles on track.

Oh and by the way they've also revamped the interior it looks
like a cross between a Ferrari 430 Scuderia and a Gaylardo.

Well thats what I heard via a bloke down the pub.
