Congratulations!

I think I recognize that dealership... it's where I got mine.

Some folks here have managed to change their user names. You can try asking the mods.

After the initial test drive it's hard to accept anything less.

Do not buy a Turbo because if you do, all reason goes out the window.
I DD'd my TT from July to last weekend when I put it in the shelf for the winter. The TT is so good it makes me a little bit angry to drive anything else for more than a few minutes. The TT has ruined me for almost any other car. (Where almost does not include any of the other cars in my sig; they are still great. But, they are not winter-drivers.)

Honda, how does your new TT compare to the C2S? Low end torque and probably exhaust sound?

I briefly test drove the GTS before I got my TT so I can't compare a whole lot.

TT feels heavier & more planted. My 991C2S had SPASM and sat lower, but this car hugs the road better. Never had a car with rear wheel steering, but you point and it goes.

Exhaust has more "whoosh" sound than growl/bark. Power is endless. Really notice the extra body width - good thing.

Burmaster is big improvement over the Bose....cleaner/crisper.

Wish it didn't have the clear bra (Xpel)...1st time for me & on black, the edges show wax residue & left over glue - PITA.
So far the wrap not worth the trade off on a non "daily driver".

I'd get it replaced....it is a crap install. The wrap should continue around behind the edges so you don't get that problem. I think the wrap is one of the best $ spent on a car like this, particularly on a black as it removes the chance of swirls as the car ages. My wife's is black and it washes up like showroom new every time. Amazing stuff.

The whole will open up a lot more after 3-5k miles, the sound, the engine....feel a lot more roar
Congrat, nice options.
I have a white and did not do the wrap.....

Agreed; I have it and it's perfect. Saved my front quarter panel recently from some major paint damage. The self-healing deal is awesome too!

Why change the user name? It will work well when you trade the Turbo in on the new NSX!

Congrats on the purchase, stunning car and love the poodles too. 911 Turbo/Goldendoodle owner here!

↑↑↑ Ha ha.....I promised this Turbo was it.

I predict the new NSX will be tough to get for a while....then will be tough to sell after that (just like the original - but great car in it's day).

BTW had #17/50 Zanardi - as you know, they are very rare & collectable today.

Congrats!

Did you have the dealer drill license plate holes in the front for you? I've made that mistake once and regretted it. Now I use a tow hook license plate holder.

Surely you can get a slim custom plate for the front?
