pretty ggod handling in the 18m slalon but losing some 10ths at the track due to oversteer

well balanced, hamronic, no turbo lag


verdict: Is tuning of the 997 Turbo neccesary?
Bringing this all togehter, these tuned Porsches give some idea what a new GT2 could be. So these are as useful as a 997 GT2 would be. also new this year be.

This is actually in the latest Auto Motor und Sport. I forgot to mention it because it's towards the end and wasn't properly mentioned in the index. They just said "Porsche 911 Turbo".

Lol, whoops, let me change that

I had my doubts though, there was no Hockenheim time..
