Steve, Couldn't have said it better. I guess all the TT guys will be trading "up" for C2/C4 Mike W

Viken is the Consumate Porsche Professional. You can be sure he has taken white glove care of the car, and that any modifications were done for vehicle enhancement purposes, not visual enhancement purposes.

If you want to spend the same money on a high mileage TT from a stranger, thats fine. If you want a great deal on a fantastic car with the right upgrades, then look at Viken's car.

Randy You can get a TT for 55K.... that has been in
a accident or has a salvage title. Otherwise 70K+ for a
low mile TT, in the high 60's if you work hard for a 96.
Speaking a clutch's I just wish I had one that worked- boosted
or not!

Not all of us prefer a TT - I could easily afford one and choose a 1998 C2S as I liked it more.

It is not a question of one being better than the other...it is simply a question of which one makes you happier.

No one said everyone prefers anything. There are plenty of people who can afford Porsche's and they drive Pontiac's. It's not a matter of only $. Some of us make sacrfices to own these cars. There are lots of choices. Mike W

Mike,

The comment was "***** envy" and it appeared on the previous page.

Some people have the opinion that the TT is better <period> and that anyone that has another car really wishes they had a TT.

That simply isn't true.

They are all great cars and we all, no matter how much $$$ we have, sacrifice something to make a purchase like this.

We should all be thankful that we have the oppurtunity to be custodians for these vehicles...no matter which flavor we choose to drive.

I agree with you the D.C. We are fortunate to drive any of these cars. Having owned 6 Porsche's the last being my 95C2 ,which I hated to give up eventhough I had bought a TT. The truth is I'm worried about Old Guy. He bought a TT and now may never see his son again! Mike W

I wasn't aware that trading a family member for a TT was an option.....I might have to build a bigger garage.

AFAIK, the AWD cars use a hydraulic clutch *system* and the 2WD cars use a vacuum system. Having said that, and other than the clutch and pressure plate, what exactly is different between the C4S and Turbo clutch systems?

I did not think about my mother-in-law!! (other family members)
I could have
kept my son! he was getting to be a good golfer!
What does a good mother-in-law bring these days?
