Keep your head up man. You'll find one.

 

If you plan to track it GT3, I owned both, .1 & .2 variants, I have also owned .1 & .2 Turbo (Current) , the TT is the better street car, the point and shoot aspect is what works so well. A GT3 for street driving is not the best car IMO , Walter Rohrl also agrees tack = GT3 , Street = TT. The Gt3 requires to much upper end range reving and while the sound is enchanting the ability to row thru the gears is not there in normal driving.. you need to keep the revs up all the time to derive power as the low end is not good.

 

I would be willing to test drive it for you...

 

So after further review (went back for a second test drive) I do like the turbo. The clutch is something to get familiar with because of its lightness. The boost and speed is addictive to the point that I went throw 1/8 of a tank of gas in about 20 miles the wider trac is actually noticeable in slower speeds which I can get used to. Now it comes down to price and I got the final word that mine is totaled today so they will now farm out quotes to dealers in the area for retail value of my car. Hopefully I will have a turbo in a few weeks!

 

sounds good

 

Pics of said 997tt

 

Agree with your initial findings. Stepping out of a really well set up 997S my first drive of a turbo left me surprisingly underwhelmed. The only thing that kept me interested was the look of the car and the awesome thrust when it kicked in. After test drive two I understood exactly what the problems were that were leaving me feeling so underwhelmed, and knew these problems could be fixed to my liking. So i went ahead with a purchase. I'll always miss the naturally aspirated 2wd set ups. There is no denying they are such sweet packages...and straight out of the box. But now the turbo has been sorted out to my liking I don't think i could ever go back. If only I had driven a turbo set up the way mine is now i would have understood to begin with what all the fuss was about. Porsche remedied these problems to a agree in the .2 car. Anyway GL with your decision. The turbo is an awesome car!

 

nothing an aftermarket clutch/flywheel, sways/coilovers, and exhaust/tune can't fix

 

On my way to test drive an 09' C4S

 

So verdict on the C4S is that it is no turbo. It is a fine car. Pdk wasn't bad but again not my style. Turbo here I come!!!! Now it's time to workout the numbers and finagle.
