Wow, that's a pretty hefty update. Props for bringing back the light strip on the C4's, here's hoping the updated models are as hot as the current ones.996 C4S, for reference:

In before the "engine's in the wrong spot" brigade!Very nice upgrades. Best of all is that it will devalue the early 997's which will be a bargain in another few years the way early 996 cars are now.

Can't wait to see what the lightstrip looks like in person!Joe Rogan on Kellogg's dropping Michael Phelps: I mean, do you guys ever think about what you sell? Pop tarts? Are you kidding me? I would be willing to bet that 50% of the people buying pop tarts are stoned out of their ****ing minds ... There’s nothing quite like being stoned out of your mind at 2am watching a Chuck Norris movie and eating a bowl of fruit loops.

agreed. always thought it was sorta odd porsche didnt offer a dual-clutch auto ala dsg.

The power and torque bumps are impressive for a mid-model refresh like that.It's GREAT to see them finally bringing PDK to market. (Though it will be interesting to see how it's programmed compared to DSG.)
I am very glad that they're going to bring back the red light strip for the C4 models - that was much missed.
But the thing that really staggers me?

Standard xenon headlights on the base models!!!11!one1! Jesus, Porsche, welcome to the party - it took you long enough!

I thought that they were always standard (at least for the 997 generation).

Mmmmm, a 997 Carrera stripper in Cobalt blue would be sick! With a standard 345hp, you're just 10 shy of what the old S was!And that 7 speed sounds sick.
LSD appears to be only for AWD models?
Great upgrades! Bog standard Carrera sounds like a hell of a package right out of the box.

Oh, ok, so porsche's version of "DSG" then. Funny how when Porsche does it, its the next best thing, yet when VW does it, its "just an automatic"

Porsche invented PDK in the 80s.

Indeed a fine update for the 997. I've always liked 911s, but now with DI, iPod, BT, vented seats and PDK I finally really want one. Now, Peru Red or Mexico Blue?I only wish I could get a Targa without AWD. There's always something isn't there?Modified by DasRaven at 12:08 PM 4-25-2008

Ya like how about a 4 body with RWD (not a GT3 RS)?

If I'm reading it correctly, the LSD was already on 4WD models, now it is available for the first time on 2WD models.

It looks like it is standard on 4wd models and an option(accompanied by PASM) on 2wd cars.
