    997 TT Cab or Coupe

    I have had a 930 coupe and currently have a 993tt coupe but am considering a 997tt cab. Does anyone have any thoughts on any potential negatives to a turbo cab? Would you expect any less frame rigidity? Has anyone compared a 996 coupe and cab?

    Hello,

    currently i'm driving a 996 TT C and this is my 5th Porsche Cab in a series. Starting with a "standard" 993 Cab 4 and going on with several 996 Cab i was a great enthusiast and pro going for my 6th cab (997 TT C).

    But then i got the chance to drive a 997 TT. And everything since then has changed. Due to better handling (runs like a train on rails) and more comfortable driving (no more wind noise coming through the roof) i now will stick with the coupe.

    Additionally when i ordered my new Porsche (six months ago) there was uncertainty about the delievery times of the next generation of TT Cab and i was too keen on getting hands on a new 997 TT.

    Furthermor me getting older, i feel it'll the better choice

    Get what YOU like. I'm a cab guy. As much as the coupe form is smoother across the rear top, quieter, etc, I'm still a cab guy. Just can't beat it.

    Re: 997 TT Cab or Coupe

    Depends on what you want. If you are concerned with rigidity you prob want the coupe, but I think it's meaningless. I ordered the Cab. I've had the TT coupe, would always take the cab. They are just more fun more often.

    ilnino, this is Bruce, we met several wks ago at MMCar. I would agree with Eric, buy what you like, for me, it would be a coupe, I dread rattles. Upon having a GT3 supercar, I hate to hear those little rattles, my C4S 996 is tighter than a drum, as much I love the convertible, I know I would go crazy with the rattles. Whatever you decide, owning and driving a Porsche is the top of the world, we're all fortunate to have decisions like this. Live once, don't let it pass you buy!
