I get Hellcats, ZL1s, and every Mustang imaginable. Only car that walked on me was a 800+hp build GT-R. My buddies ' 16 GT3RS did a good job of keeping up though!

Aaaah, the Pontiac Aztec, one of the greats, joins award winners like the Pacer, Pinto, PT Cruiser and Datsun B210 for one of the ugliest cars ever made.

Driving a TT in a small town is never dull. Between dually pick-ups and a LOT of beaters that want to race, tailgaters trying to get a closer look (or take a picture/video while driving), and gawkers in every parking lot, it can be a PITA. For some reason, this town also seems to be where Pontiac Aztecs come to die.

But I have to admit, the "stoplight selfie" was a first for me.
My wife told me her dream car in high school was a pontiac aztec. HAHA!

I am going to buy one for her for a christmas one year as a joke

I've had lots of admirers at gas stations and a few pacers taking video. I DD mine, so everyone at work likes it, and at our xmas party the venue took full advantage and parked it up front all special like LOL.

The Aztek is truly a special kind of ugly! Too funny!

Funny.

Outside the city the Turbo does get mostly good attention or an occasional bird.

Now in the city there's not one local soul who seems to care about the Turbo, however, with my S2000, in the city I get nothing but thumbs up, finger pointing and nods of approval. Go figure.

Ha, I also own a 997tt and an S2000 and also get considerably more attention in my S2000! (To be fair, it's bright yellow and somewhat modified, but still.)

My speed yellow TTS is a unicorn in Northern VA but doesn't draw any attention, which is a good thing. I've only had two challengers, a ZL1 and a GT-R but I didn't play because it was unsafe.

That’s awesome. I think you’re right ,I’m on WedsTC105N, Bilstein PSS9 and Supercharged so that’ll spark some interest.

I get little to no attention with my TT

But when I take the 928 out, it's a full on **** show. Everyone tells me stories they had with one. How it reminds them of the 80's. Why they dont see them anymore and on and on.. Usually its pretty cool

I get next to no attention really. maybe the odd, "how fast is it" Or "what drugs to you sell", or "what did it cost"

Thats the best thing about owning a somewhat unasumming super car. Is it even a super car?

I heard a rumor it lost it’s supercar title at a specific year or something like that... but did it ever have one to begin with? Unless someone shows me some actual data proving sc title... I’ll never know.
