Cool OT: Got another "last of..."

...the manual transmission Mezger-engined cars.

And it sounds almost as good as my 993.

Nice, curious how you compare it to your previous 997tt.

How do you clean the inside of the back window in that?
Looks nice, congrats and enjoy!

Thanks guys! The turbo was a very different car. Comfier, better all around and very easy to drive fast. Too easy maybe. It had lots of creature comforts - memory and heated seats, auto-dim and dip mirrors, windshield wiper sensor, etc. but for me it was lacking in involvement and it just didn’t have the sports car sound I was after. The GT3 is almost a polar opposite. Super stiff clutch, high revving (I was doing 75mph in 2nd gear today, crazy), you have to pay a lot more attention in the corners even with all the nanny aids on. But very rewarding if you get it right. We’ll see how I feel after I spend more time behind the wheel and a few road trips. Good thing it has those large side mirrors, because between the scaffolding and the wing the rearview mirror is useless.

Wow, what a beauty! They really need to make a jealous face smiley because I can't think of a better thread to use it in. Enjoy it!

I have to run against them in my class, weekend in and weekend out. In a Miata. Death to GT3s!

Seriously, though, thats a very nice car, Ilko! I will miss the orange signature, though. Loved that color.

I am glad that I kept the pictures you published of your very unique orange TT. Use this red beauty in great health.
