Looks awesome. I just had the same dilemma. I had a Ruby Red 911 Cab that I loved, but I walked into the dealer and he showed me a a Cobalt Blue GT3 that was a bit too much "in your face" for me. Then he showed me a Basalt Black Turbo with Natural Brown full leather, that he lowered on H&R springs. He also added a set of Champion Wheels. The car looked unbelievable sitting on the showroom floor. I had to have it. My my rep made me an offer I couldn't refuse. So 2 days later i handed him the keys for the Ruby and he handed me the keys for the TT. My wife test drove a TT for the first time. Besides liking the looks a bit better than the C2, she also liked the overboost. The first time she stomped on it and OB kicked in, all that came out of her mouth was "Holy S&^T!. The cab couldn't do that!"
The car is my best ride ever. Much better than my M6, Corvette Z06 or a host of other fast cars I've owned. The TT is perfectly balanced to me. The steering feel, power delivery, grip, etc. are all superb.

Yup the OB is to be experienced... just the kick and your eyeballs heading backwards (as Clarkson said)... stunning.

Congrats, Haku! It's a beautiful car with very tasteful options.
Hearing stories like this just confirms that my next Porsche will be a Turbo. I'll be waiting a little while since I won't be ordering until the next-gen (DFI, etc.).

Hi,
Congratulations on the new turbo!
BTW, I think I bought your old one from Jerry Hickey. Absolutely love it, thanks for trading it in!!!
I didn't bother test driving the turbo, knew I would like it to much, already own a Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo, no comparison between the two. When you're ready to sell it though, let me know!
Love the options you picked out, it's pretty much exactly what I wanted.
Thanks again, the 4S is in incredible shape and I plan on keeping it that way.

Yep you have got my C4S... Jerry did tell me that it went to Dallas. I loved that car as it was my first Porsche. I'm so glad that it went to a terrific home. Thank you for looking after it. The neat thing is also that it seems to attract such nice looking kids! The following is one with my nephew who was in love with the car. Enjoy your car in safety and good health. I've pm'd you.

Yea I dont get that at all. If I had the TT with in a football field of my budget I would go LONG!!!
In fact When I made my first 911 purchase I wanted a TT but I was looking at 993 C4S's and the really
good ones were 8-10 under a TT. So I thought what the heck I might not ever be able to do this again.
Back then I really had to stretch to make another 10k but I did it and NEVER regretted it. I still have
a BIG OLE SOFT spot for the TT, any TT. the 993, the 996 and especially the 997 TT.
If the GT3 hadnt come out I would have a nice ruby red 997 TT sitting in my garage.
