Default New to me 09 TT.

Hello,
I just picked up this 2009 TT. The members of this forum were very instrumental in me choosing the car I did. So much helpful information on this board! Thank you all! I was looking for more of a cruiser so opted for the cab and the tip. The color is Cream White which can be a love or hate it color I know. I am growing to appreciate the color more and more everyday. Already have began shopping for her. Painting front spoiler and rear valance, exhaust ordered, spacers ordered, spring decision in the works. Again thank you all and have an amazing Memorial Day weekend!

Looks great. Background accentuates the color.

Congrats! Looks very nice. How would you describe the power/performance compared to sports cars you have owned or driven? Whether they were Porsches' or other makes? Just curious.

Great looking car...I personally like the color and the contrast with the black wheels. I'd suggest cross posting in the 997 Turbo forum to meet other Turbo owners. Well done and welcome to Turbo ownership

Thank you all for the kind greetings. It actually came pretty loaded with Sport chrono, heated and cooled seats, color matching center council and instruments. XM, Bluetooth, multi function wheel, ect. I have had cars with more power, but the were all rear wheel drive. This feels like it's pulling me more than pushing, if that makes sense. Ha! I will say it feels compact and nimble. I have not played much, but initial feeling is it light on its feet compared to other makes I have driven. Feels very planted. Thank you all again!! Have a great day!

Guys, I have not updated this in a while... car arrived to Florida safely, we found few issues that had to be resolved (paint and suspension) and after spending few $k more than anticipated she is ready for enjoyment.

In addition to modifications listed above, we also performed:

- Installation new coils and plugs
- Replacement of suspension components with Bilstein B16 PASM along with all new rubber mounts
- Installation new front control arms due to damaged bushings (improper removal in Colorado)
- Installation Numeric shifter
- Paint work to remove stone chips and plate holder mounting holes
- Installation PPF over entire vehicle, excluding rear bumper
- Painting of center console
- Front lip replacement
- Battery replacement
- BMC drop-in filter
