Questions regarding TT
HI
Well im thinking (read will) of moving up from my 996 to a 996 tt and i have 2 simple questions
you can of course answer un asked questions and offer advice (All welcome).
Car is being bought from porsche with a warranty.
1: Tiptronic any real issues with it if i track occasionly (prob about 6 time a year)
2: Is there a simple test to tell me if its fitted with the genuine TT wheels, as i have my doubts about the ones fitted, even if he does say assure me thier genuine.

1. Tip for the track is not an issue... there have been a few articles in Excellence magazine on this.. but you will get a lot of replies suggesting you go with a manual...
2. Rubber vs Metal valve stems. Hollow wheels have metal valve stems... also in the 996 TT, there are ridges present on the solid spoke wheel, while the hollow spoke is smooth on the backside of the spokes.

I went from a 996 to a 996 TT and have to say that the turbo in manual is such a rewarding car to drive.
I actually considered buying a Tip as the dealers just about give them away as no one buys them!!
My Suggestion is to Drive a Tip and them a manual and then make a decision.
Prior to my purchase I tried a 996 GT3, a 996 GT3 RS and a 997S and the Turbo was the best all rounder.
By the way?? What did you lose??
