Thanks. Guessing by your avatar, a military pilot? If so, and thank you for your service and fly safe.

Put a set of Pilot Sport Cup 2s (like the GT3 wears) on the Turbo and the numbers would tell a very different story.

HNY!
There ya have it!
Although the C4S is very capable, the TT should give you the performance increase you seek.
Of course we need pics when it arrives.

I will post them when I get it for sure. I will give as fair and comprehensive review as I can from a non competition driver (for now anyway) regarding differences in feel, performance characteristics, build quality and satisfaction.
Be safe and have a fine afternoon

Thanks. It's a manual, fer sure! As long as I can still bend my left leg, that's going to be my transmission of choice. I had the PDK in my Panamera S, and it is a wonder of technology, but also ended being the primary reason that I got rid of the car.

Have to agree… I can't see any reason why some need to attack the OP - even if this was a fake thread and the OP was a troll, some people allow themselves to get too worked up.

As for the merits of the post itself, hey, people make mistakes, it takes ***** (sic) to own up to the mistake and pay your school fees as the OP clearly has!

Personally, I'm too **** and pedantic, it took me about 2 years to eventually buy my car. Started out looking at a used 997, then almost bought a 997GTS and then eventually bought the 991S - and I'm so glad I waited and considered my decision! One of the best purchases I've ever made - and I've also made my share of mistakes in this regard.

Good luck to you Patty

Maybe Patty is a ghostwriter for Suzy ? ;-)

We will probably never know the real story behind "Patty". Stupid ? Clever ? Boy ? Girl ? Young ? Old ? Handicapped ? Troll or not ?
But does it really matter ?

Only thing left to say is: be safe and all the best to you Patty ! I hope you get yourself a kick *** car that's exactly what you hoped for !

It is interesting !
I vividly remember the road to my first Porsche. That one took me about 5 years to decide as I'm an extreme and thourough perfectionist ! Doubting between Corvette Z06, Lotus exige, Caterham SuperSport, Donkervoort D8 Cup, Lambo Gallardo, Ferrari 360, Maserati Tropheo, bmw m3, Honda NSX and S2000, Radical SR3, Wiesman, Impreza WRX and more before I pulled the Porsche trigger ! It was a bit over the top ! Typical paralysis by analysis !
The latest one was less than a year. I'm getting better ;-)

You could say we might be each others antithesis LOL

Analytical research from all the various places is, for me fun, but the best part is getting out and actually seeing what may fill the bill. It is a shame that there are quite a few cars available in Europe and ROW that are not available here in the states.

That was quite a diverse list of candidates you had on the path to your first Porsche. The list for me doesn't really have what I might call exotics on it (Ferrari, Lamborghini etc...) as the cars I get usually see longer trips during the year and some of the places I go are pretty far from dealer services, though there are certainly scattered specialists throughout the country.

I do most of the basic maintenance necessary for the cars we own but that gets less as the cars get more specialized. I will do more tasks on an Audi than I will on a Porsche given as I have more experience and tooling that I know works on them. The others generally have (with a few exceptions) the same wheel sizes all around so rotating tires gets done regularly and a spare set of winter tires is kept for the trips to ski country. Usually the maintenance is relaxing and enjoyable when there are no time constraints. If we build a new home, I will be looking into having a capable lift included in the garage as I enjoy tinkering with various projects.

Well, off to play the registration game with an Audi.

Do be safe and keep warm. It is chilly here and the heated seats will get used today.
