Seriously there's not another car that can do everything like the turbo cab.
The only other car that comes close is the Bentley GT convertible. All wheel drive convertible with 4 seats ...
These are EXACTLY the same two choices that I have been seriously considering for what comes after my present 996TT cab.
Since I already have the Carrera GT as my race emulation ride, I am looking for a sumptuous, yet sporting, cabriolet that I am not afraid to have valet parked. I also would like for the car to provide enough luggage space for a 3 to 7 day road trip with my wife. Occasional seating for my teenage daughters would be a big plus.
The 997TT would seem to be more nimble in tight turns and accelerate better. The Bentley is quite fast in average traffic and whatever it gives up in toss-ability it repays in spades in ride comfort and street style.
Right now, I'd say I'm 70% Bentley GTC and 30% 997TT Cab.
Time will tell. I missed the look-and-see GTC day held in conjunction with a new showroom opening at my Indianapolis Bentley dealer. I hope to get to drive a finished example sometime this summer whenever Bentley gets around to offering a ride-and-drive similar to the Spur event of last year.
In your case, the Bentley makes more sense. More room, less sporty but beautiful. And for the special days, the CGT. Perfect.
But for most of us who can't get into super territory, I agree 100% with the 997TT cab being the swiss knife of cars right now (manual or tip).
I don't have much info about Bentley's waiting list, but I know first hand that being a prior customer of Bentley LI will help a lot.
Funny how these two cars are also the only ones on my wanted list right now (well except for a 430 maybe but in principle I refuse to get into Ferrari's ponzi scheme, I'll just wait to get one in europe).
Stradale, I think you need to watch the options on the 997TT. If you go too far, it might just be better to get the Bentley, especialy considering your current stable
