The 997tt is one of the finest cars I've ever driven.

^Wow, a lot of raging on Sutcliffe, who has been with Autocar for years, and before that he was a BTCC driver. I'm not saying he's my favorite auto journalist in the world, but I do think that some of you are being overly judgemental.

Last I heard Porsche was going to make a GT2 rs. That was about a year ago, haven't heard anything else. Can't wait.

My sources (German, supposed friends with engineers at Porsche) told me the RS models were actually built - limited numbers, stripped out ~570PS very expensive. Quite where it is is a mystery ? Someone mentioned a French test driver talked about involvement/being involved in the launch but that was a couple of months ago so ???? I reckon there are things going on in Porsche with the financial "fun", change of personel etc and also I wonder whether it has some connection with the 997.2GT2 which my source said was being developed and in particular the DFI engine in GT2 guise and ~550PS was struggling with reliability !! maybe they are rethinking launching RS GT2 just in case they can't do similar with the DFI version because of the engines power limitations........ people tend to forget just how much development went into the Metzger engine to reach the level of reliability it has as these heady power/torque levels and it seems tha Porsche cannot reach their standards of "reliability" at these levels with the DFI ? ?
