seems like many new owners recently, or maybe i'm just noticing cause also a new owner..
always crept around on here but seems lot of new additions lately... i assume because the 991TTT soon and people pouncing while they can?
how many new owners do we have?? (lets say people that have bought since christmas) and reason for new ownership (TTT or just "around that time" ?)
so far i know khooger, and ilko, aminewyork,...
congrats all, i get jealous everyday seeing your pics and still waiting for my car! bought on 3rd but couldn't leave the shop till today because i had them adding and messing with some stuff... (still a week from being on my doorstep)
most of all, stay safe with all that power.. AWD is forgiving, but we don't want to see anyone hurt on the forums

Wow, I didn't know your car is not home yet! Maybe you should come up to get it yourself and drive down to Tampa! I bet that would be a fun way to get to know it. I have to say I'm a bit jealous at those who travel to pick up their cars. I only crossed the East River.
But to answer your question, it wasn't the TTT, but after 3 years with my 993 and getting to know it so well inside and out I wanted a new challenge and adventure. And what's better than the last Mezger engined turbo?!

Got mine in December, but had my old blue one since new in '07, sold it, missed it, had to have another.
I've had a 930s, 993tt, 996c4s, 997.2tts, and 2 997.1tt cars. The 997.1tt is my favorite!

but with the TT, 3500 miles would really stress me out, especially given the long desolate area's along the way... if it was a brand new car I would but a used 07, I would rather have a full "nut and bolt" prior to doing a 3500 mile stint...
i agree on the mezger

i like the fact you enjoy 997.1TT over 997.2TTs, makes me feel like i made a great choice.. i've had .1 and .2 carrera, and 991 but i felt i had to go manual and mezger,i hope the vehicle is strong and healthy and i hope to enjoy it for a year if not more (which is crazy to my usual)... it's honestly the best DD i could ever think of.

I think one of the reasons you see lots of new 997 turbo mezger's on rennlist is because many realize what a great car it is and what an icon it will become.
But this flow of new members/owners started already last year I believe.
Some have been active posters when they just got it and after a while they just lurk. Last spring/summer we had a lot of new owners joining the 997 turbo forum.

August 2012. I agree on its' status with the Mezger setting it apart. It's a great enigine and a great car. Love it. Lots here in Vancouver, many of them cabs. If you can only have one car, this is the one.

Did you sell the flat nose 930 ? If so why ?

Mid-January for me! Picked her up in Atlanta and drove to Oklahoma. I previously had a 996 X50. The X50 was a great car, but I really enjoy the 997 and appreciate the upgrade. If current 991T speculation proves true, she may well prove to be a classic.
