Don't think the LEDs are actually DRLs...the DRLs are what on most cars are the fog lights - the LEDs are the turn signals with the outermost bulb being the fogs.. If I'm wrong, someone tell me how to make the LEDs DRLs, I would love to have that.

Lot of comments about less beefy or inferior this that or the other. Does anyone have any actual proof of these things?

On my .2 the fogs are the DRLs as well.

I have some even less beefy but great anectotal support of my .2. 74000km, daily driven summer and Canada winter. 7000 track kms. Absolutely zero problems. The suspension as is a great on the track, for the .1s to keep up they definitely need to mod theirs. Also the DFI so far has been a rock. The longer the DFI has been out the more the fears of it somehow being inferior have yet to come to fruition. As much as all the Mezger fans want it to fall apart, it's turned out to be a great engine when people really dig into it. Love my .2 manual.

Time will tell. Actually, it should last longer since the leather is fake on the bolsters. .1 is real leather. Some folks are getting tired of all the automation in these cars.

my thinking?

The .2 transmission does just fine with the power the car has and a bit more. If you want 1,000 hp, maybe its not the right choice, but then really, you are on the fringe of lunacy anyway.

The leather quality is nothing special in these cars anyway. Leather in the air cooled cars wears much better.

As for suspension, I know there are some differences in the shocks, not sure what, but I'd think the control arms and such would be similar, save for maybe some updated part numbers with minor running changes.

Quadcammer

as for automation, i generally agree its a bit much. I don't want active motor mounts, torque vectoring, or rear steering. I think the 997 series, if ordered properly, is a good combo of tech vs. interaction/engagement. Is it in anyway a "raw" car? No, but then my 993 isn't either, so I guess thats a pretty subjective topic.

You should have LED DRLs in the spot where I have incandescent fog lights on my 997.1 turbo. Can you activate this feature using the PCM menus? Maybe this is only the case on cars with dynamic cornering headlights (I don't know here; I'm asking. Did all .2 cars have dynamic headlights?)?

I dont think the leather in my air cooled was better. And the seats had little to no support. I slid everwhere.

Dennis - is that your cab? The color combinatiin is an exact match to the .1 Im looking at.

Dennis C

No, that is a photo that I found on Google. It is awesome though....

My cab is Macadamia Brown Metallic with Sand Beige interior.

The seats in my 993 were 18 years old and wore like iron with over 80k miles. I don't have faith that the 997 seats will do well.

The 993 sports seats are fairly supportive, but the standard stuff is not great. Kind of the same story on the 997 too though

Sport seats in my blue 930 had 70k miles, damn near 30 yrs old wore like iron too.

This is what I had..had to hold on for dear life..lol
