GT Porsche Magazine Rates 997.1 Turbo.....

[Martian O]

...as the best Turbo to date.

Over the last six months, GT Porsche magazine has reviewed every 911 Turbo model and concluded that the 997.1 is the winner.

Ah but have they put it up against a GT3? *snigger*

A good 997 turbo for £35k? Are we there already?

Thought the mk1 was boring and the mk11 less so ? So now the mk1 is a great car again. Cant keep up with all this st.

Yep seen that. Great car and a nice colour too.

Are they specific as to why the Mk1 is better than the mk2?

I'd imagine the engine block and because they are cheaper.

Each month, every Turbo incarnation has been reviewed but not compared. Just that the final paragraph nods towards the 997.1, no comparison between Mezger/DFI, Manual/Tip'/PDK etc.

Is refreshing to hear something positive about them for a change

Not sure is the best though, personally I would still love to own one of these at some point...
