I have a ttrs and it is a really fun car. I prefer 997 carreras rear wheel drive. The awd just ruins it IMO. It works in the Audi.

sort of on the topic but I'm ready to trade my cooper S as my DD (noisy and roads here are junk!). any opinions on the Audi A5?

I don't see too many and the lines are nicer than the A4. I hear more and more the BMWs see the inside of the shop too often.... (after the 993 nothing else measures up - such a problem!!)

thanks!!!!

Interesting comments on the TT-RS. I own one used mainly for 'fun' on track and it does give an excellent account of it self on track...the exhaust note is also nice...;

on streets for early morning drive -

on track with my son -

Fun vids!
Apparently you don't have Bullwinkle to worry about on those narrow wooded roads, phew!

The question is always there, way back in my mind, "what would replace my 993 if it got wrecked today?"

Seriously, those lanes are on a private estate?

Dang, that's impressive!

I have a 2007 997 C4S with a GT3 body kit on it and am probably going to trade it for a new Audi TTRS soon. Basically I need awd and whereas the 997 has lived in Florida now I need to move the car to the mountains and the 911 would be too low. Thanks to the OP for putting your thoughts up. I guess for me the Porsche will always be a classic.
