Thanks st-anger for the 997 material. Reading the Autocar article I had a question and a thought. Since Porsche has realized that their cars are faster on NS with Pirelli tires why wouldn't they work with Pirelli to create special tires for the 997? I have heard that Michelin spends more R&D than other tire makers is that part of it. BTW wasn't the old Pirelli P7 a specially designed tire for the 930?
The other comment I had is I have noticed a reoccurring theme as the 911 has changed over the years. This is especially true from the 996 on...which is that the more refined and controlled Porsche makes the driving experience the less desirable and fun their cars become especially for the purist or skilled driver. Any thoughts on this. A similar comment was made in the article in GT Purely Porsche article that reviewed the GT3 RS compared to the Carrera RS.
