OT warning

C&D just drove the 991 and gave it a good review, but all is not well among the faithful, which is typical for any new Porsche.

The new car will be a little lighter, -55#, but gets a wheelbase increase to fit a mid-lifecycle hybrid system. It's bigger, has a Panamera like interior instead of a C-GT/918 sports car inspired cockpit, gets a huge (read: heavy) sunroof and a more nanny-ish PSM, their DSC. The reduction in low speed understeer will be welcome however.

The 'ring times seem good. Hopefully this will drop 997.1 GT3 RS prices into the low $80's in 2012, I'd love to have a green or orange one.
