I don't get it, sell the car and buy a new TT... The TT includes many expensive options that are a must anyway, so the higher price is not as high as you think.
But I don't like the TT. I'm not into Turbo cars. And to be honest I reckon much beyond 400BHP is too much. My last car was a TVR Tuscans S. It had roughly the same straight line performance as the TT (195mph, 0-100 8.0 secs), but with a 5 speed box. It was no fun to drive because the gears were over before you knew it, and that would be worse with a 6 speed box! First was almost unusable, second took you to over 100mph, I only revved it out in third once, never saw the power band in fourth, and only entered fifth once!!! Ended up driving everywhere in second, the same freakin gear all day every day LOL.
Power delivery was so explosive that overtaking was about as appealing as being fired out of a cannon. Now I'm no wimp - one of my bikes will do a standing quarter in 10 secs... but a car is not nimble enough to be accelerating at those speeds on a public road. You can have too much of a good thing, just ask anyone whose ever dated a nympho LOL
Personally I much prefer both the cleaner looks of the standard car. And the noise of the NA motor really gets the blood going.
So for me the standard car has more character, is better looking, better sounding, and a lot more fun to drive. I would have loved a GT3, but the weather here is [beep] and this is an every (single) day car. So the closest I can get is the 4S with the powerkit. Thank You Porsche for making this car!
If I ever want more power, and the car is out of warrenty, then I might consider a bolt on low pressure supercharging kit. But I doubt it...
