@ GT: One question, what did you think of 997tt comparing to your 996tt? Tip aside, do you think it is bug step fwd in driving dynamics?
-> My 996TT is a Sportec Stage II and it's a convertible so it's really hard to compare. The accelerations were definetely more linear in the 997TT, it was faster to 160kmh (didn't really test after that) but it only FELT faster till 100kmh (the start being mindblowing especially in the tiptronic). Driving dynamics is no comparison possible (coupe vs cabriolet).
@ Tony007: SS is still a normal option here and can be fitted from the factory. Sorry to hear they changed this for the US, can't imagine why they would do that tho
@ 993S: Yes, I drove the car at Drogenbos (both manual and tip) and the SS did feel strange at first. But after a very short while I became familiar with it and really started to like it. The standerd shifter is indeed smoother and is already like 15% shorter compared to the standard 996TT shifter. But again, for me it was really an addition to the car.
@ J.Seven: Thx man
The 996TT cab is sold already and will go when I take delivery of my Gallardo Spyder (which is E-gear btw but that's another story). Normally this should be around October 2006. Getting REALLY anxious for the G lately
@ Porker: Thx man
