I am...but I'm not sure I can part with my 997S. I did go from a 996 Turbo to the 997 and have no regrets. I miss the extra power but really like the improved interior, ride, handling, refinement, looks, etc. I would definitely miss the sound of the PSE on the 997. I tried several different exhausts on my 996 Turbo and never could get the sound I wanted. It was an easy decision going from the 993 to the 996 Turbo but this will be a much harder choice because the 997 S is such a nice car already. Anyone else strugging with this impending choice?

RC...
you just broke my enthusiasm to wait and get the 997tt.just because your points are very interesting and logic.my lifestyle is similar as yours,so after reading your thoughts i started to wonder that maybe i should just order another 997cs(maybe 4s dunno) with PK and that's it.
althoug i know that the 997tt is another leauge.but i don't need it...

Gentlemen,
If you don't mind saying, how much earnest money did you throw down, and what percentage do you get back if you pull out? I am getting pretty close to signing up for a blind purchase myself.
Stradale,
That's a great strategy - I really like your approach to try to leverage a decent turn around on the CS Cab - very creative. I hope the dealers don't have so much interest in the initial TT offering that they don't care if they fill your order or not ... but either way, it sure beats a blank. Please let us know how it works out.
Also - if you don't mind - do you share kkeating's "no regrets" stance on dropping the 996TT for a 997? I am very surprised to read this...

RC - I wouldn't let the rumor of a 997TS keep you from ordering an early 997TT. If I remember, your 996TT was highly "tuned" for extra power (more than 996TS). I think the tuning cost is less than the ridiculous premium charged by Porsche for the "S" and it gives more power anyways. Is the warranty the issue or do you just want to keep the car stock?

After driving my 996TT cab for about 3000km in the last 10 days I can tell you without any hesitation: this car is ab-so-lu-te-ly awesome! I'm #2 on the 997TT(S) cab list here

1. although 480 HP in the 997 Turbo are nice and what I actually expected, I don't think it will be enough to outrun the F430, new BMW M5 or the Lamborghini Gallardo.

I also don't like the possibility of a non-S/S strategy which has been discussed in the past, meaning: a 997 Turbo for slightly more money than the 996 Turbo and a 997 Turbo S with 520+ HP for substantially more money, both cars available at the same time (rumors come and go regarding this).

That is indeed the major reason why I will not go for one of the early 997TT. I would really like either Powerkit+Sport Suspension or, alternatively, the GT2 if it will be offered with PSM. Also, the DSG might be worth the wait...
