RICHARD: I got together with Brian and took him for a ride and let him drive the TT. So....Brian, how come your knuckles turned white and all I could hear was you sucking in your breath at 130?? I think Brian has changed his opinion of being disappointed in the performance of the 996TT.

I too am a bit surprised you feel the tt is disappointing when compared to a 997 S. I know those cars well, as my dad has one, and it certainly has a lot going for it. I like to describe that engine as very "charismatic." It just feels good and satisfying, no doubt about that. In fact, I would say my tt is not as satisfying in this way. With that said, however, my dad's car feels downright slow when compared to my tt, and pulls NO WHERE near has hard (although mine is flashed). Good luck in your search! I too like the 40th anniversary cars.

Richard,
Look like I wont find one soon. After driven Chuck's car, it's hard to find one as clean and as fast. So I'll hold on for awhile until I find a good one. But I'll join you guys at Taco Tue in my corolla in the mean time. Hahah

Hehe, I'm currently driving a corola but I have had a 06 Z4 M for 2 years which was off leased this month and a Ducati 749s which I miss dearly. Driving Chuck's car gave me the same feeling as I was riding my Duc. Pulls hard and quick.
Can someone show me how to post pic from my computer in this forum? It only allows me to post pic from http link.
Thanks

Brian...there's a How-To in the admin section....or go over to the 996 forum and do a search for Posting Pictures....Gota911 (Tim) has explained it to a lot of folks....
