I'm not quite crazy enough to own SY, but lust for it. Love the interior.

Thanks everyone!

Barn: I purchased the TT with a TechArt intake/chip/exhaust at about 500HP, no other mods. The OEM suspension is GT all the way, very dissapointing if you expected a sports car feel. I had to do PSS9's plus GT3 sway bars to make it more sports car! The AWD makes you feel disconnected from the road. Overall, the C2 feels more connected, there is much more feed back. The car is much more of a sports car than the TT. The TT's AWD, HP, and torque makes you feel like a much more accomplished driver. The power is addictive on the TT. If I said I don't miss the extra 200HP, I would be lying but on the street there is not alot of places that you can use the extra HP.

I always felt the same as you about SY. Ended up owning all black and red cars for 30 years. When I saw this car, it changed my view. I tell my wife it's a mid life crisis car! My wife says 1. It's not 'mid-life" unless you are planning to live to 100! More like 3/4 life crisis. And 2. You have been this way since your early 20's, this has to be one looooong midlife crisis!
