Atter driving a 996 C2 for a number of years, I just switched to an '04 TT. Some initial impressions:

1. TT engine is much louder and deeper sounding
2. TT "feels" like a much more substantial car (heavier, more planted to the road-- not sure if it's the AWD or what)
3. TT is definitley quicker off the line, but I haven't gotten past 4000 rpm yet, so I'm not sure that I've really tested the Turbos.
4. Seems like a wider car on the inside (I realize that the body is wider, but am not sure if the interior is actually wider or if it's my imagination)
5. Supple leather makes the seats softer and more comfortable (IMO)
6. Bose stereo seems to sound better than the C2 Bose (again, may be my imagination)

What else can I expect as far as differences from a C2? Thanks.

More tickets?

 

a lighter pocket!!!....best part is knowing you hv more than 400hp on your right foot.congratulations!

 

accelerating much faster and harder exiting a nice turn. Boost comes on hard, but it feels soooo good. Enjoy the new ride.

 

MORE LIKELY TO CALL IMAGINE AUTO OR SIMILAR TUNER TO ADDRESS FUTURE HORSEPOWER
NEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE MORE YOU WILL WANT EVEN MORE, I CANT EXPLAIN
IT. IT IS KIND OF LIKE THE MORE MONEY YOU MAKE...

 

Great responses, thanks guys.

Hey Dock, what do you think of the x73? Thanks.

 

GBG,
I am the newly appointed break-in specialist for the TTs. If you will ship me your car I will break it in properly over the summer months. No thanks are necessary, just doing my job!

 

Larry: Appreciate the offer-- tough job, but someone's got to do it, eh?

 

I remember the first time driving the 996TT from the 996C4 and the expression was like this.

 

Justin: My sentiments exactly!

 

expect more attention. I can't turn my hear without seeing standard 911s, but turbos are much rarer.
