And, please ask me anything about the differences between the previous 997 and the current one. I have analyzed everything; it's the CPA in me.

One thing I did notice is that I had the XRR Sport wheels before, which are .5" inch wider in the front and back and have 10MM larger tires in the back, sit much more flush with the fender. If I had purchased those wheels, which I did not think would look good with red (grey and red don't match that well in my opinion), it would really show how much lower it is with sports PASM. I briefly thought about spacers, but I am going to wait until I can afford new wheels and that will fix that issue.

No question, it needs an exhaust as it is quieter than the previous version, both the engine and the exhaust.

Wow, really, the engine/exhaust is quietter in the new 997? I figured with more power that it would be louder. Are you running 305's in the rears?

Also with the new P17 PASM Sports suspension & LSD does it actually raise and lower the car?

Tires are 295 as standard unless you get the XRR option. P17 lowers the car .4" permanently, not each time you hit the sport switch. Also, in standard and sport it is noticeably stiffer than standard PASM.

More questions, is an 09C2S faster & better handling than a 996 GT3?
