you actually made a really good call on the 07 vs 10.

I believe in 07 they still had the metzger engine, which is a full race engine block that they use in the race cars even today; granted it's less efficient - but it's pretty much bulletproof from what I've read in a porsche book, pretty sure it's good for like 700whp on stock internals

the new higher displacement TT engine are less robust and more efficient
The above is accurate except for the spelling. It's Mezger. . I'd take an 07-09 Turbo over the '10 as they went to a less robust engine in '10.
Pretty good info to know. Does this apply to all 997 Porsches or specifically just the Turbo cars?

Turbos and GTx cars are the only ones that came with the Mezger to begin with.
