Default Bought 997TT today :)

Hi All,

I'm a new member here. I traded in my 997.2 today for a 997TT. Couldn't sleep properly last night in anticipation then had a very bittersweet drive to the dealership knowing it would be the last time I drove my trade in (she was my first Porsche, had her for 4 years from new). I swear I was almost in tears once I parked the car and was starting to think I'd made a terrible mistake.

Thankfully, the Turbo was the first car in the building as I walked in. Looked amazing and even better than the other times I'd seen it. Had an awesome drive home and could certainly feel a big difference in power. Definitely think I made the right decision now. Will post some pics soon.

Wow CP. I know exactly what you are going through. I too have had my C2S for 4 years and am letting it go possibly tomorrow or Sunday. I've come close 4-5 other times but this is for real this time. I feel like I'm dropping the family dog off at the vet!
But soon I'll be in a nice TT, tearing up the miles with the top down. It's time... Post pics dude. It's a must!

Yeah, it's been an emotional roller-coaster today. In fact, pretty much all week has been like that. I feel like I've been cheating on my car...lol. By the way, that's a really beautiful car you're getting. Congratulations! As I said before, I am a big fan of that interior.

I'm pretty pumped. I totally am there with the "cheating on your car" thing. The new TT is striking and perfect for me. Most of the cars in our town are black, white or silver over black. This one is going to jump. Pics will be forth coming.

Pics. The car doesn't exist unless there are pics, inside and out, right?

Roller coaster? Of course!! Wait'll you "test" the acceleration. Its just the same as the giddy feeling one gets with the negative g's on a roller coaster. Seriously!

I like sitting in the car closing the doors and smelling the scent of the leather. Five year car and it still smells like it.

I had an 06 C4S and felt the same way but no looking back now. The more you drive it the more you will appreciate all that it has over your S. It gets better and better. Enjoy and congrats but we must see a picture !

Just went out with the Mrs in it and had a great time. She's loving it too. Words can't express how much I love this car. Anyway, here are some pics.

I added some colour centre caps but wondering whether or not to go back to the black/white ones.
