Are there any pics where the Porche has it's wheel's turned? Or the steering wheel turned? Edit: On the box, the wheels are slightly turned, and the steering wheel is still straight, chances are it's RC

Anyone else notice the lever to change steering moves in and out when it's in counter- and crab steer modes?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Maybe like some technic sets that came out in 1999?

First I heard it.

What if the steering is done with 3 gear racks, on in front of the axle, one behind, and one locked in he middle, and the gear selector just jumps between them?

HOLY...I didn't even make that connection....

RO sets in September? NICE!

Not to mention it's $179.99 in Canada.

LOLing at some of the comments above....this is better than watching the comedy channel :laugh:

If they bring back Thrawn, almost all the "mistakes" Disney has made will be forgiven.

According to the Visual Guide, it belongs to Unkar.

Probably.

YES! Like others said, it's the first year I'll buy every set in a wave.

IK, I was making a joke about, well, just say knob can also be a derogatory name.

At the end of the worm gear?

I can't see the hand pump being PF powered....

From a german car site- In various Lego forums there are rumors at a price of around 300 euros. It is supposed to be a production version in Orange. We suspect that Porsche emphasis on the matching paint. On most press photos showed the producers the 911 GT3 RS in LavaOrange. We hope that the boffins at Lego have the 500-hp 4.0-liter Boxer and the dual clutch transmission implemented faithfully.

Maybe PF includes lifting cab too?

:laugh:

I've seen lots of knobs driving Porsche's.... :laugh:

Some people said it's not very realistic, but you have to remember if they made this look like (I know it's not), say a bagger 238, bagger might have an issue if it wasn't licensed.

Anyone else notice the box looks like ages 11-16? Is that just because of pnuematics, or is there some nice technical features?
