OK, In that case you're young, I stand corrected….but I'm still old and I like the challenge and art of mastering a three pedal car..

Igooz

Old school!

Lmao! I see what you did there!

Italian cars are really expensive to maintain... I seriously will trade my car for a 997 GT2 if they go down a littler... I can't afford to buy a $150k car... But maybe I can get to 120k

Were an F car is concerned it depends on how old it is. From what I understand all the later Ferraris are sold with a 7 year warranty and free servicing, free brake down service etc. Excellent customer service from what my brother reports so far. May be different in US? This is where Porsche falls over imo. Given the price tag their warranty is out of step with todays standards and whilst they may extend goodwill once the warranty expires you are basically in the lap of the gods. Goodwill also usually only applies to the original purchaser and the books need to be in order.

Bryan, Leo, Phillip, Igooz.

I'm older than all of you. Tip by necessity because of hip injury..

Do I win??

Ferrari & Lamborghini are for people who doesn't have any economical worries .... When somebody ask how much is the maintenance of the F430, Gallardo, 458, Aventador, etc that means they shouldn't have it.... Lol I shouldn't have it! I will be destroy if I ever have to pay 40k to do the engine of my car, that's when I think I can afford to have a Porsche but not an Italian sport car, specially because the chances you will blow the engine of a Porsche are very low.... I wish u could say that with Lamborghini & Ferrari.

Leo997TT

I'm sorry to hear that!

I'm sure if you didn't have that injury you will be driving a manual TT!

Leo997TT

Hey guys! Here is what the PDK can do to the new generation of P cars lol

I wonder if the 996 IMS crowd agrees with you?

But as I wrote before I agree that F-cars are super expensive to upkeep.

Update on the test drive. They now have the car in the front window and tell me that if I want to drive it I will have to make a pledge to buy it. This is typical of the first models to hit the showroom. They act like it the only TT in the world. That's okay.. I understand car dealers..

I will be patient and wait until more cars are in the market.. Then they will change their tune a little.. It's just a car and I'm not exactly slumming in mine..

And Speed you are probably right. Just because I don't like (parts of) the TT now doesn't mean I won't change my mind down the road...

My comments sure created a great thread though!

An interesting, sometimes informing and alway entertaining thread whether you got to drive the 991 TTS or not Phillip…..

Phillip

This is the best thread ever!!! You have no idea how much I laugh when you call speed ******* lmao! Which I agree with you he is an smartass but I like his style a lot! I just like stray shooters! I hate fake people.... Even he agree with you!!! Lol I'm an ******* too!!! Lmao

About the dealer..... I don't know how they are expecting to sell cars if they keep doing that crap! They did the same **** to me in the dodge dealer last week, when I went to see the new Viper.

Philip, screw the 991tt then nobody wants to that piece of junk anyway........997 FTMFW!!!
BTW, if anyone wants to trade their 991tt for a much better 997tt let me know I'll be willing to make the sacrifice

Leo997TT

Yeah screw that piece of trash! But if anyone wants to trade it for a superior Gallardo I'm down to take the hit! One for the team!!
