    Actually, they just guesstimated on the HP. It's now an official 485hp with a top speed of 196 mph. Everything else stays the same though. I think we should pit this against a Lambo Gallardo.

    I'll stick with the Z06 on this one, from the spy shots i didnt like the 997Turbo as much as the 996, and I absolutely loved the styling of the last one.
