-any negatives or positives from going from 445 to 500? i.e. Tire wire, clutch, higher running temps, clutch slip?
-weight difference? i know the 500 weigh about 35lbs more than the 445 with all the additional components, is it noticeable?

Thanks - Tommy
I went straight to the 500, but from everything I've read, the 445 actually has noticeably higher running temps than the 500 because the intercooler makes a very significant difference. IIRC the oil cooler is also larger?

Highly recommended; the extra power and torque is very noticable and brings the car into a true supercar realm. It's almost as fast once locked up in 2nd as my 2012 911 Turbo S
