...then one day when your new-to-you TT is in for maintenance at your fav shop, a glint of silver will catch your eye. You'll refocus your eyes and see Motons sitting on the bench. The tech will see you and say "Dell, I just pulled those Club Sports and springs off a TT that's going back to stock since the owner is selling the car. I'm sure he'll let them go for a song....."

Then the wild ride starts again!

Yeah no rollbar cause the kids won't fit in the back - the other stuff - well it seems to have a way simply jumping on the car!..

6TT is the way to go.... however, knowing you Dell... I would allot mod money as part of your budget... modding TT's arent the same as modding N/A.... def more hardware to play with.

Damn, y'all have zero faith in me when it comes to keeping a car stock. How about if I just mod the interior with some cool trim pieces? I already have a great idea for it.

Yes, and while you are in there, do a reflash for another 80 hp!

I think the chances that you'd keep a 911 turbo stock is equal to you putting 20" spinners on it.

I'm no different.

If I were gonna keep it all stock, I'd lease/finance a 991 C2 S with PDK. It is the best 911 I've driven on the road around DC and had most fun being in it. There's something about 2WD Porsche steerings that is making me addicted. It may not be faster than a Turbos but it definitely feels better. IMO, it is more of a driver's car than a TTs. Also, don't get me wrong. I love shifting gears manually but PDK around weekday traffic and weekend twisties is the different fun to experience.

Then again, 6TT is a total bargain right now. It'll be very hard not to mod the car with the money that is left over.
