well this was certainly a surprise: i just drove up for spring break to visit my parents, and i couldn't believe my eyes:
a black, fully loaded, ceramic-braked 997 carrera S, replacing his 996 C4S!!
dad handed me the keys; he took my M3; and we drove back to marin from silicon valley.
all i can say is WOW: the improvements between the 996 and 997 are ... day and NIGHT. not only the power, but even the interior build quality, the comfort, and, for me, a 6'4" guy, the headroom!! the thing is soooooo much roomier inside!!
from a dyanmics standpoint, i especially like i how there's a lot less bobbing from the front of the car, something we both hated about the 996 C4S. Also, having RWD again is especially nice.
Anyway, i'll post a more thorough review later in the week along with some pix.
Cheers,
