Me and a few other invited w/ guest, you have full access to two cars, pcna techs and factory drivers in a very small setting(max 20 I think) 'the turbo lounge'. You can do everything but drive the car, I'll take pics and report back.

I was told by my dealer today that the TT should be in showrooms by June.

Did I read somewhere that the 997TT and the GT3 are not being displayed at the NYC auto show, just off site by invitation only?

Is this true?

Why wouldn't Porsche display their two latest models at the public show where millions of people can see it. Particularly ones who have ordered one like me.

The inside scoop is they had a dispute with the people who run the show re the debut and additional advertising costs/revenue. The 'lounge' was announced and put together at the last minute, I (also with a deposit) only got about a ten day notice.
