Well, other than a 1000 mile drive home on old rubber and cruise control which was a nice surprise I like aspects of the car. Won't really know till I start slowly at my local track 35 min away and put new rubber and change out fluids and have diff checked out.
Love the sound of NA motor but stock exhaust is much quieter than my tt cat less switzer system. She's been in hands of detailer and now dealer transferring over race seats bar and 6pts plus all the rss and trg bits that were in the tt.
Once aligned and cb with new rubber I will get some more seat time and let you know. My tt was so dialed in with 5 yrs of goodies that to compare them would not be fair. Lets just say as I dropped the tt off today to dealer a part of me was saying "are you sure you are doing the right thing in getting rid of this care" but I suppose that learning curve is part of the fun!
I will keep u posted.

sorry for the giant photo! thanks for all the kind words from everyone, I will do better once I get the car back from being cleaned up:
2 step polish
Opti-coat clear coat
New clear bra pretty much everywhere on front end to replace old partial bra.
tips coated satin black

When I was looking at the pictures of that car when it was for sale, it looked like it had different exhaust tips? Maybe it has aftermarket exhaust?

Tom, You will miss the torque, but you will develop driving skill that the added power was masking. The lack of weight, the lack of front drive fighting the dynamics of the chassis at those speeds, and the better geometry all reward you.

Congrats on the new purchase Tom, She is absolutely gorgeous. We met at MSRH when u were tracking your Turbo. My car was the yellow GT3 that was in the shop getting the brakes bled while they were adjusting your alignment. I remember then you were saying that you were thinking of getting a GT3.
Can't wait to see her at the track ( I assume u r going to track her)
Anyway, enjoy the new car, you bought a very nice example.

At the Porsche Sport Driving School now. Hurley H sat in the 991 CS with me for a session. Boy O Boy you hate to screw up a heel toe when you have someone like him riding shotgun
