A relative has the #3 slot at the local dealer for the 997S, he's either going to get that or sell his spot and buy a 996 Turbo S cabriolet. I'm pushing for him to get the 997, but we'll see what happens. For the record, I love the 997, the 996 is almost turning into a bad dream at this point even though I liked the 996 when it was around.
The point is i dont have a problem with water cooled, but some the air cooled folks seem to like this 997 model because it has the looks of the 993, just saying to the die hards its water cooled. There was a thread that the air cooled engine should be brought back and this 997 would be a perfect platform for this. Thanks for lesson Zamirz
