I like the direct injection and that the engine has lost some weight. And the PDK seems neat. But i can't help thinking that Porsche has a responsibility to make more efficient cars. Just because someone can afford to put an unlimited supply of fuel in a car doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. I think a 35mpg sports car is an immediate realistic goal that should be set. Even the old Triumph Sprite's gets 30mpg. And that was 30 years ago. If the designers are truely bright then they should see the enviroment and efficiency should be the goal. Not just to become the worlds most profitable sports car manufacturer. On the subject of ecomony, you may enjoy watching this YouTube video on the 997.2's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RIrsSKgliA&NR=1

Don't miss the October issue (#168) of Excellence Magazine, "Trojan Horse," pp.52-60, for the best review of the new Carreras I've seen so far. Not up on their website yet, so I guess you'll have to buy a copy.

I think just about all manufacturers including Porsche make their exhausts out of Stainless Steel standard these days True, but Porsche, up to and including the 997.1, offered it as an option. Maybe, with the 997.2, it is now a standard feature. Thanks.

I'm a new member, so bare with me; this is my first post. That said, I have owned Porsches since 1996, and have a 997.2 4S on order for October production. Does anyone know if there will be a stainless steel exhaust option, like that available on the 997.1? I know you can order (eventually....) the sport exhaust -- but I can't find the st.steel option on the current options list and my dealer doesn't know either.
