Default Saw my first 997TT today

Well I finally saw up close my very first 997TT today. It looks increadible. It was at my dealer ( Ray Catena Prosche) in the service dept. getting the following done to it for new car delivery: K40 radar, Clear bra, and short shifter. It was GT Silver with black interior. Anyone from this forum??

Here's a quick shot I took of it, while it was being working on.

That car truly is amazing even in bone stock form. It was the first 997TT I've ever seen in the flesh. Needless to say I left the service dept. that day with a stupid smile on my face

For all the pre-production talk (on other boards) about how common these cars will be, in 9 months of availability, the only live 997TTs I've seen are: one on showroom floor, pre-delivery; two cars owned by exhaust manufacturers (Fabspeed and AWE), and...mine

I live in suburban Philadelphia, go to NYC often, but have yet to see another one on the road. Now that I've been really looking, I've actually seen more Ferraris than 996 and 997 TTs combined. Just an observation.

And yes, they do look much better in person.

I've seen a total of one on the road. And 4-5 at the dealership. I guess in a city of almost 5 million, a "common" TT is still pretty rare. Lots of 997's of all sorts though.

I got mine in july and for the last 9 months since, I have seen 3 TTs on the road here in san diego one silver and 2 cobalts which could be the same car seen twice. I also saw 2 other ones at the "cars and coffee" meets in Irvine where usually there is 0-2 cars at the most.
Not that common yet even here.
