And there's always the GT3 RS if you're that big of a weight weenie.

I'm stoked about the direction Porsche is going in.
I am not unhappy about where Porsche is going. I currently have the 993,a Cayenne S and I bought a Panamera S last fall. Technologically,they are evolving perfectly. I just don't know why they continue to make the 911 bigger and heavier with every new release. There is no need for it. More power, less weight!

Park a 997 next to an early 70's 911 and the difference is dramatic.
