Re: New Turbo has arrived!
Thanks everybody. I've had a lot of nice cars and this has to be the most fun so far. I liked the light feel and handling of my 997S but I love the torque on this turbo (way more fun around town then the M5). 400 miles in 4 days- I'll have it broken-in in no time.

Re: New Turbo has arrived!
First, congrats carcam. Every time I see a pretty white tt like yours, my heart skips a beat (I have a Guards on order.).
MMD, very much agree with you re. the very busy looking turbo wheels. I should point out that IMO, in person, the turbo wheels do NOT look nearly as distracting. It's only in photographs that the wheels stand out so much, in my opinion the weakest part of the car's design.
In fact if you look at cars with simpler wheels, you might notice as I do, that the rest of the car's vents and slats are not bothersome at all. From reading your posts, I would predict the first step for you is to change the wheels.
Either these very nice GT wheels or the Rinspeed c5/1, that unfortunately is not available in 19".

Hummmm... . Very interesting how the GT3 wheels tame or lessen the edginess of all those slats and vents.
I like it. Effect would be better in person I bet.
Reminds me a little bit of the old, "What was Porsche thinking?" quip.
