Default New 997.1 TT owner

Found the one that checked all the boxes. It is 6MT, PCCB, Sport Chrono+, Carrera White, modded as I would have done anyway (600 to the ground).

My other is a JGCSRT, auto obviously, and I very much wanted a manual.

One thing I need to fix is the front hinge on the driver's side arm rest... Haven't been able to find this part, apparently my normal google-fu is week. Sad panda...

Anybody in Kentucky?

Unreal🤯🤯. I was looking at this car!
Congrats!!🚀🚀🏆

How do you like it?! Are the seats comfortable?

This was Armani Toomers old ride by Sharkworks?

I noted unreal, because I was able to buy a 997TT yesterday when you posted. Missing this car was my motivation to not miss the one I picked up. #firstpost

Sharp looking car. From what I see the hinge is integral to the arm rest lid. I saw a used one on eBay for $130.

Yessir, this was the one on BaT. I don't mind the seats, but they definitely take a bit more effort to enter/exit.

I absolutely LOVE the car, the HP and torque on demand is incredible and I am in love with the manual. Honestly, I cannot see NOT getting the car in a manual (despite how good a PDK would be in a later model). For pure enjoyment, at least from my point of view, the 6MT cannot be beat. If you want something for pure speed, auto, but fun, manual.

Also, I thought that that might be the case for the arm lid hinge... Sad panda.

Very Very cool. I am happy that you are online and on forums, this is a good place. I really think the world of this car!

You are 100% correct, the 6 speed makes driving special and not just an speed drill.

Also, speaking with the guys at my shop, he was 110% certain that 95% of people cannot tell the year of a 997 TT compared to a 991 (I laughed and said that I could, but appreciated the comment.)

Looking forward to growing in ownership with you....ENJOY THE SMILES PER GALLON!!!

I will post up a thread when I get some photos and video content on the one I picked up.

Congrats - looks a lot like my car (white Aerokit) but I have the stock front lip and side skirts.

I agree, the color combination is perfect. The interior is blk leather with CF center console and the GT2 seats.

I ordered a XM/Sirius receiver from Parts Society but suddenly I'm getting no contact and no update on shipment...

Other than that, absolutely zero issues with the car and have been enjoying the nice weather we've had lately.

What is the Sport Chrono “+” designation specifically? My car is a 2007. I didn’t think there was another step up from just Sport Chrono.

Same thing, just a different name from what I understand.

I remember that car from BAT. Awesome set up and I am surprised it didn’t sell there but glad you finally got it - Congratulations!
