Saw a real one

I was in at the local dealer today and saw a real 997 Turbo in speed yellow. I had only seen pictures in Silver and I love the yellow anyway so of course I was impressed. It said PCNA car , not for sale on the window. Apparently the sales guys are going to be trained on the car tomorrow. The engine compartment looked quite well laid out and simple. Aluminum force feeding tubes coming across from eachside.

It was unclear how to enable the over boost, the sales guy said it comes on in sport mode, but when? He said he would know more after the training.

I like the look mostly but can't get used to the square exhaust cut outs.

Sounds like it will be a dream to drive ( like I need another 150 HP to get in trouble )

Saw two today; one in light silver and one in a mid grey colour. Gun metal grey looked very stealthy esp with standard "red" calipers. Light silver one with ceramic "yellow calipers" looked boring in contrast. Both were manual but that's the fashion down here in sunny Espana!!

When in sport mode. the overboost occurs at full throttle for up to 10 seconds at a time. An up arrow lights up when you have the boost bar displayed under the digital speedo. I just hit the 1000 mark on my turbo and started to push it and needless to say, I am very pleased.
