Got the 997.2 TT
All -
Just last week I picked up my 2010 997.2 TT from Hendrick Porsche in Charlotte, NC. Drove my 2011 E90 M3 down from Pittsburgh and drove the 997 back home same day - a beautiful drive.
Here are some specs:
* arctic silver metallic
* sea blue interior (much darker than expected, close to black in color)
* PDK
* sport chrono
* adaptive sport seats
* UAI (I had that added before I arrived)
* 1/3 front hood and fenders clear bra (same as above)
After having owned both a 997.1 TT (modded to about 650 hp) and a 997.2 GT3, this 997.2 TT is my favorite as a DD. It feels much faster than my modded 997.1 (and probably is very close).
Some of the suspension numbness I felt in the 997.1 is gone. But that advance is replaced by a major disappointment in engine note. The DFI TT engine is just so darn quiet. I'm not referring here to the exhaust note, rather, the engine itself. This is a known issue but not having driving the 997.2 TT before pickup I didn't realize how drastic this actually was.
For me the PDK is awesome. Tremendous off the line performance. I find myself letting the PDK do the work versus "manually" shifting.
Other than that I'm very happy to be back in the TT. I'll DD this thing for a while and see where I go next in perhaps a year or so.

I actually drove that car a few weeks ago. I wanted to get a feel for what a TT feels like before I actually start searching for one for me in a few months... the car drove great!, I got out of it with a smile... you definetly got a great car.
