(911 TT on the other hand only has ~12% power hike)
the power hike really helps in a few sections of the NS..

.Antoniusbuche, Döttinger Höhe
Quiddlebacher Höhe--> Aremberg
Bergwerk--->Klosteral...

with an emphasis on high speed stability on the last two... well, in my humble opinion im not a 'real' ring expert

a 2007 model early in the 2006 made me think that the design would be different than usual Porsches, WRONG!

This car will be a real machine, would love to own one for daily use. Im a bit suprised by the top speed though, ive heard its only 193 mph? Not that it matters, i think top speed is a useless measure, so long as its over 180. Should a 911 turbo with 480 hp be pushing a bit higher then 193 though?

Also, I think the Z06 is more akin to the GT3 then the turbo in terms of spirit. The 911 turbo is almost just a bit too much Grand tourer rather then outright race car, which is what the Z06 is.
