Here are some specs:
* arctic silver metallic
* sea blue interior (much darker than expected, close to black in color)
* PDK
* sport chrono
* adaptive sport seats
* UAI (I had that added before I arrived)
* 1/3 front hood and fenders clear bra (same as above)

After having owned both a 997.1 TT (modded to about 650 hp) and a 997.2 GT3, this 997.2 TT is my favorite as a DD. It feels much faster than my modded 997.1 (and probably is very close).

Some of the suspension numbness I felt in the 997.1 is gone. But that advance is replaced by a major disappointment in engine note. The DFI TT engine is just so darn quiet. I'm not referring here to the exhaust note, rather, the engine itself. This is a known issue but not having driving the 997.2 TT before pickup I didn't realize how drastic this actually was.

For me the PDK is awesome. Tremendous off the line performance. I find myself letting the PDK do the work versus "manually" shifting.

Other than that I'm very happy to be back in the TT. I'll DD this thing for a while and see where I go next in perhaps a year or so.

Great pickup, I just made a comment in your exhaust thread. and yes if you use sport or sport + and turn the PASM to normal as sport is just jaring on the street the car shifts amazingly fast, even with the paddles first gear runs away before you can change gears, sport shifts earlier whereas sport + will hold the gear if you havent had a PDK car before.
