Best: the expertise to make this a reliable beast and help with problems (thanks guys)....


Worst: the cost of fixing problems well known to Porsche that should have been recalls..like 2nd gear popout, the slave/accumulator (putting the gt2 stuff ASAP)....then comes the cost of tires. :-)

Like best: modability with reliability.

Like least: weight and its distribution.

I would benefit most from it being lighter.
I would be most relieved for the smallest
change, if the clock wasn't so inaccurate
that it loses 2 minutes a week (or so it seems).
Call me ****, but I want it as least as accurate as
a $40 Casio watch. I'd pay $250 to get it
as accurate as my $110 atomic radio controlled
Casio (never more than .04 seconds away from
the NIST atomic clock in Denver... )

Oh, and I'd love to lose the "Manuel"...

Being a 3rd generation German-The TT Porsche is like a woman should be...
The Good
1. The key will turn her On and Off
2. Modifications make me love her more
3. Always seems to have one up on me
4. I'm in awe when I look at her
The Badd
1. Loves to complain when I'm bad
2. Loves to spend my money, but is happy afterwards
3. Does everything right, can be taught/bought to do it better, but still is a *****

Ooops-the clutch engagement sucks-gt2 conversion is comming

It's fast, but it's a pig in the corners. It also has been depreciating like crazy lately.

The best? Acceleration.

Needs help with suspension now...

Audio/Navigation/Electronics just sucks

Compared to the BMW M5s, the cost to mod is low! $$ per HP wise.

Love the words, "Porsche Turbo." There's something special to me about those two words from way back when I was in high school. I love the way it sounds and drives when I get in it on a weekend after driving my Impala all week. It feels like a racecar, but I guess anything will feel like a racecar compared to an Impala.

I hate the Porsche tax.

The Great : Power - fantastic torque makes it easy to drive everyday.
Handling - Very good for a street car.
Cab - Nothing is better than Summer nights.

The Bad: Crappy stereo is criminal in a $156m car.
