Default My first Porsche

I have been reading a lot of the commentary on the forum which helped me decide on the Turbo S Cab and of course test driving it. I had a M6 and Z06 previously and was considering a Cali T but decided on the Turbo S...

I was not impressed with the dealership (I purchased out of state) but wanted a blue one. I will be picking it up Thursday. I just thought I would share and thank all the forum members for the good info. I can't wait to drive it..merry Christmas and happy holidays

Welcome to the other side. I too came from the vette side. Enjoying my turbo S but the zo6 was a amazing machine for the money.

Thanks lawdogg, I think I remember seeing you on the corvette forum..I agree, when I sold the Corvette, I kept comparing to those specs and it was hard to find anything at that price point..for me, the Porsche is more comfortable and I do like the interior better...but the turbo s does need an exhaust

Very nice OP

I think the Vette is a natural progression to the TT ....although like many I still have mine and will keep it forever !

Congrats! Beautiful car and color choice, though I'm obviously biased!

Yes, definitely looks a few of us. How many end up changing the exhuast? That is the first thing I want to do...

I was thinking Sharkwerks or AWE but started looking. Mind me asking why you went Sharkwerks?
