Quick 997 Turbo brief needed....

Other than the improved Nav interface in '09 models, are there any other differences from '07 onwards ?

Is there an updated model coming out in MY 2010 ?

thanks in advance

As you mentioned, the 09's have the updated PCM but little else changed. There are a couple of fluff items either added or subtracted, but no significant mechanical/performance differences from '07-'09.

S65 --> 997TT? Interesting (yet spectacular) choice!

The thought of adding a 550hp ruf massage/coilovers/wheels makes it very tempting....looks like there is no significant diff between the years, so a well bought low miler leaves room for some tasty mods.

One fly in the ointment...she insists on a tip....

I prefer a manual, but doesn't look like you give up anything in performance with a tip so while less engaging, I can live with it.

Going to keep the S65, its way too much fun mashing the pedal on that one.
