Default My Turbo is here!

Went by the dealership today to see my car just after it arrived. Will pick it up Monday after Sirius install and window tint.

I have an E55 and a 977tt. They are both great cars but very different. The E55 is a 4 door torque monster that is big, comfortable and a great daily commuter. The 997tt is a beast and clearly the best tt ever, I don't think it is a great daily commuter. It is to noisy in the cabin and you just want to forget about work and enjoy the incredible performance. My tt is black and I have the ceramic brakes and I couldn't be happier.

Thanks for the kind words. I did not order the car... It was an "available" indound car. Had the options I wanted and a couple I could do without.
Options:

Black Mats
Adaptive Sport Seats
Axle Differential Lock Rear
Heated Front Seats
Ceramic Composite Brakes
Parking Assist System
Sport Chrono Package Turbo
Module For Telephone PCM
Remote CD Changer (6 Disc)
Thicker Leather Steering Wheel
Carbon Package

One thing I noticed different than the C2S: 225 MPH speedo.

Enjoy it. I traded "up" from a 997S and a Maserati Coupe GT. Couldn't be happier. The 997TT is the best car I have ever owned. It's perfect for running around town, but when you get on it things go crazy. You'll be very pleased.

Trading up from 997S (May delivery), would love your feedback comparing the two. Congrats, Nicely optioned out. Quick question, I also ordered the thicker steering wheel (XPA) and thought that was the sport model. Just was wondering if you ordered a combination of 2 options to get the triangular type (which is nice too).
