A year after intro and 8 mos. after picking up mine, I finally saw another TT on the road today. It was white - a real stunner. The driver, a blonde gal with a heavy foot, didn't have time to exchange a thumbs up.

I thought I'd see a few more around by now, but I'm just as glad that there aren't too many.

How about you other folks. Do you see more than the rare sighting? (Except LA of course)

I've seen only two on L.I. / NY since it was introduced. A white one that I drove last summer (member on 6speed) and a cobalt a few months ago.

The thing that has been most surprising to me has been all the looks, stares, and pointing LOL! I don't think too many people paid much attention to my 997S. What must it be like to drive an F car or lambo?!

 

I've seen a few but not as many as I expected. There's one in my neighborhood that I see regularly.

I did see a black Mercedes SLR today. And a guy in my office parking lot has a 430 Spyder he drives on nice days. Oh, and I hear another 430 go by my office window on the occasional morning. I can tell it"s the 430 just from the sound. I'll look up and see that indeed, that's it.

 

I see a black/black a couple times a week when my son pulls into our driveway. He has been a terrible influence on me.

 

Come up to northern NJ...you'll see one on every corner! I had two in my driveway yesterday !!

 

I see 1 or 2 preowned on the lot down in FL but not that many on the road.

 

in miami i see about 1 a week on the road

 

Only ever seen one on the road here in Sydney NSW.

 

I've only seen two thus far here in Taiwan. Most of the people here really don't notice it because most think it's just another Porsche. But speaking of how noticeable a car is, although I don't have a 997 TT, I have a 996 GT3 which get stares only by some. With my F430, I get lots of attention. But topping it all is the Caterham Super 7 which I had the previliege to borrow from a good friend of mine for one week. The Super 7, I would say that 9.5 of out 10 people notice the car, with 8.0 for the F430 and 4.0 for the GT3.

 

Not all that common in Houston either, but Houston is a giant city.

 

I have been looking since they came out last year in Melbourne Fl. Have never seen one. As of today there are only two that I know of and one is mine.

Around here they are exotic cars.

I get stopped when getting gas and people asking if I am driving the new turbo.

It's great getting all this attention.

In Calif or Washington I am sure it would be so much diffferent.

It is not that much different yet, I got my car last July and over the last 11 months I have seen about 5 or 6 cars other than mine in the San Diego area. Most of these cars I have seen at big meets like C&C in Irvine, where last saturday there was a few hundred cars on show including dozens of Ferraris and dozens of Lamborghinis (featured mark of the week), plus a grand total of 3 TTs other than mine.

 

I see about three/ wk, just today two(one GTS, the other cobalt). I must say the cobalt looked nice in the bright sunshine.

 

Bright sun shine, when is that once a week..LOL

Born and grew up on LI, been a few yrs since I been back. I hear the traffic is worse, where do you run your TT ?

Hear in New Mexico there is 5- 15 mile lengths of pavement as far as the eye can see to kick the carbon out of the car. I had my 01 up to 168mph going to Santa Fe and I'm at 6,000ft.

My neighbor who works at Cupertino just bought a black/black about 1 month ago. Could be him.
Another friend also drove his off the dealer last week. If you can believe it, it's black/black from the same dealer.

Had one on the track with us 2 months ago. Seal gray.

There are quite a lot of them around here.
