I work with a lady who, from her comments, apparently confused my 944 Turbo with my 09 TT. I guess "black Porsche" is about as far as she sees it.

Black, force induced, water cooled, two door Porsche. The fact that one is 2wd really isn't that easy to see.

If I had a Volkswagen and someone called it a Porsche I wouldnt have a problem with that.

Calling a 997TT a boxster is hitting below the belt lol

My friend just got one. I think the styling is amazing, especially the rear. He took me for a short drive and i can definitely see the appeal. Sounded great and the interior was very solidly built albeit the materials not as nice. Honestly as long as it doesnt rattle im happy and the gt350 didnt.

As others have said i think the biggest disadvantage is that there are a TON of mustangs on the road.

Any Ford product vs. a 997TT.

I'd have to take the Porsche.

Unless we're talking about a Ford GT.

Same road, (almost) same spot, same (bad) camera man, same driver, been driving those road since I was young and a maniac... GT350R is a lot more fun to drive than the 7TT, but it is not a Porsche Turbo. Porsche 911 Turbo is a Porsche 911 Turbo...
