Sometimes I wish I hadn't let my GF talk me out of a terracotta or red interior. Looks great!

GREAT exterior color though I'm totally biased. Cool interior. My buddy got a black w/terracotta 2007 997 Turbo 2 years ago and is so happy with that interior color. Looks amazing in person. Congrats. What do you think so far? Is it that much better than a 996 that it was worth the large up-charge in price differential?

I had some mods done to my 996tt, so the 997tt doesn't feel as fast or have the slam you into the seat when the turbos kick in. But the comfort and the overall feel of the 997tt I think is a lot better. I'm happy with my decision so far. I would do it again. Now to figure out what mods to do.

Was that recently? It would be nice to get more history on the car. All they had was the CarFax.

Hey z3rokewl, this was my 997tt. I still have all the records from my ownership along with previous history I obtained from the Porsche dealers (contact info omitted). I'd be more than happy to discuss any question(s) you may have over PM or phone call. Glad it went to a Rennlister. Best color combo IMO.

Congratulations! Thats a wicked look! Can I ask was your 996TT nice? You traded it, would you recommend it to someone else or does it need work? Where can we find it if its a nice car? Im currently looking for one! Any leads are appreciated.

It's at Cosmos Motors in Hickory (http://www.cosmomotorsnc.com/2001_Po..._267119189.veh) It was in good shape. There was sun damage around the passenger dash speaker, but I think they fixed. It had some mods done that they list on the site. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
