Conflicted about 997TT - please help ....
1. What exactly would I expect the difference to be between a 2003 X50 GIAC stage 2 modified 996TT and a 997TT? Why not just keep the X50, especially since I have had the transmission replaced?
2. I was 'unhappy' with the drive train reliability of the X50. Has PAG fixed this on the 997TT? 'Tip' is a non-starter for me ...
3. I only have 1 parking space, so my single car must be a daily driver. What alternatives to the 997TT do I have? Assume I can afford a Gallardo, F430, Z06, etc. Can any of these alternatives reasonably be used as a daily driver?
4. I do track at DE's and need a car that can handle 8 continuous hours of tracking. I do this once per month. Is the new PAG going to continue to be hostile to those of us who track? Is this attitude different with the other car companies?
5. Can the 997 GT3 be used as a daily driver? 'Too harsh' is OK. I don't drive very far to/from work.
6. I had a 996 in the first model year and the interior sucked. Any problems with the first model year of the 997TT? When will the second model year be available?
Help! I am really struggling with this. I was treated poorly by PAG during my X50 transmission issues and am having trouble justifying getting another vehicle from this company. But I cannot identify any reasonable alternative. Maybe the Audi R8?
