2015 TTS Cab is finally here!

Well, not quite! Here are a few pictures that my dealer sent me before loading it on an enclosed trailer for delivery this evening, hopefully around 7 pm Memphis time.


I had the dealer wrap the front end with Speedfilm, tint the windows with ceramic tint (35% for TN), lower it on TechART springs, painted the "S" on tail yellow, all sitting on 21" HRE P101s finished in Dark Brushed Clear, with the HRE letters also painted yellow.


More pictures and details once I get my crummy hands on her!

Drove around for (50) or so odd miles yesterday evening. This is the first time I've ever driven a 991T (only other turbo I've ever driven was an 86 or so model), having bought this car without a test drive.


Wow! Hard to believe the difference between this and my 2013 C2S. Keep in mind I never pressed more than 30% or so throttle on this new car. I'm not in a position to intelligently compare the (2) cars yet, but a couple of items were glaringly obvious.


1 - the exhaust was not as bland as I thought / read it would be. Not as barky as the PSE of my old car, but did sound good on mild decal and down shift. I had anticipated adding full exhaust right away, but I think I'll wait a bit.


2 - it rode much better than my C2S on H & R springs. As noted on my first post, this car is lowered on TechART springs and has 21" wheels and rubber band tires. I purposely drove down a road near my house that has worse-than-average expansion joints and this car handled them nearly as smoothly as my LX570. Wife and I both looked at each other at the same time in amazement. Whereas the C2S on H & R was jarring, this car took the bumps in stride. I was expecting much worse, especially considering the 21" wheels. Comparison is with both cars in normal mode.


Hard to believe how docile this car is until you press it a little. Can't wait to get some break-in miles on it and rip it a little. I would not hesitate having this car as a DD!

I have had the same exact experience so far coming from a C2S to a TTS. You could have been writing my own words.
I am SO impressed thus far, and its only been 2 weeks. Cannot wait to drive a little more naughty!!

Right.

You're right, we were both shocked at how well this car handle the bumps vs. our old car.


On another note, I failed to mention another huge difference between the cars. While the Bose in the C2S was adequate, the Burmester is simply incredible. My wife and I are both a little bit of audiophiles and the sound coming from the Burmester has to be the best stock radio in any car I've ever heard. If you never hear it, you may not need it. But once you have it, it would be hard to go without.
