Oops. Your wheels I recognize as the standard 5 lug turbo wheels. I was curious about the OPs wheels. I have never seen those on a TTS.

Gorgeous color, looks amazing !

Just purchased 2015 Turbo, the problem is that it needs to get transport to California from Alabama so basically i depend on the mercy of the transport company.
Not sure i will see my car soon LOL.

I am looking to buy a 2015 TT. Do you guys think it is too fast to be fun? I am coming from a 2007 Carrera fore the last 8 years and a 2013 CarreraS for the last 6 months.
Thanks
I test drove a turbo last week only for 15 minutes in rush-hour traffic. I need to get back out and drive it again.

Yes you are correct. I have lusted for a 911 Turbo ever since I was 14, now 54. There was a house a few streets over that always had a white 911 with the whale tale in the garage. Every time I went out on my bike I would bike by the house to take a look. I just loved those cars. This was in the early 1980s. I know the turbo has changed but I still get excited ever time I see one.

Just do it. My 991 TTS was the first 911 I had ever driven. Seems to go just fine.

I think it is the best daily option. The GT cars look a bit race car-ish for me. Possible exception is the GT3 Touring. But the turbo torque is super fun.

I've only owned mine for a couple of weeks, but it is the most versatile car I've ever owned. Daily driver, highway cruiser, grocery getter, supercar. BTW, no such thing as too fast. My wife who drives very timidly even likes to drive it.

The TT really does it all. That’s amazing. I have a lead on a 2015 TT with 15,000 miles and great interior options. I got to go and drive it again.

I daily my 991.1 tts but I have a short commute. It has been splendid as a daily, grocery getter, occasional Malibu canyon carver, etc. The only drawbacks for me using it as a daily are 1) being worried about other commuters hitting you and 2) taking a steep hit on resale from the mileage if and when I decide to trade it in for a 992 (I've driven 20k in 2 years).

I agree. I have those same 2 concerns with my Carrera S. The turbo will likely be a keeper so I won’t worry about the mileage. I wish I could drive 10,000 miles per year. I only live 4 miles from work. I guess I got to start touring more and using the car all year round. Currently I put my 911 away for the winter which is about 6 months here in NH.

Not entirely sure--believe these were some 5-lug anthracite wheels from previous owners original spec. Center look wheels look really cool, but thank god for the 5lugs.
