Well I sat in both the 997 and 997S at the dealer last fri when they unveilled em. Some very nice touches to the inside, but overall i'm a sucker for the 996/986 interiors. The ext. of the 997 is dam right mind boggling though. It's beautiful. One thing I didn't understand is why the pedals (on both manual trans and tiptronic) are set so far off to the right? I mean I litterally felt like I wasn't sitting straight at ALL in the 997. I was actually turned towards the right/center of the hood. Is this normal for racing? Is that why 997 have that? I noticed my 98 boxster has it but it's so very slight I don't notice it. I just couldn't feel like I was sitting straight with the car in a 997. Am I completely out of some loop here?
