I keep reading things about some cars having soul, others not having it, some cars have passion, others lacking? So is a difficult to drive, unreliable, loud bordering on obnoxious, uncomfortable car full of passion and soul?



Obviously subjective....

997TT w/a more charismatic exhaust note (e.g., more like elder statesmen luxury cars like 599/CL63 ), less turbo lag (more like 600/65 biturbos) and paddleshifter tranny (like 599/CL63) would rival any car on planet for passion....

997TT's steering and brakes are only rivaled by those of 599...and 997TT's superior passive safety/traction allows one to more confidently extract performance (and presumably passionate driving) from car than in any alleged sportscar w/dubious safety....

Let's see if P engineers can copy/improve upon elements of driving features/feel/aural theatrics that make 599/CL63 so endearing to passionate (but jaded) drivers/buyers of various P/F/MB.....

Not a big believer in the 997TT daily supercar BS .....car lacks decent-sized fuel tank/Bluetooth/iPod/trunk for even basic urban commuting/errands.....in CA, 599/CL600 are far better daily commuter/errand cars....and if exiled in ex-CA locales, would rather commute via S550 4Matic and keep my F/P/AMG in CA (while figuring out how to relocate to SF/LA ASAP )....
