New Turbo Owner Intro

Hey guys,
After driving a C2 for the past 3 years, I finally jumped ship to the turbo ranks after coming upon a deal on an clean example that I simply could not pass up. It is a 2001, Arctic Silver/Black, 53k miles, sport seats, aftermarket stereo (with custom sub/amp boxes that fits behind rear seats), 19-inch three peice maya wheels (they are growing on me), with an EVO stage 1 kit (chip, d.v.'s, intake, plugs).

Its crazy how fast this car feels coming from a 3.4 996 (I have also owned a 2.5l boxster and a boxster S, my wife jokes that the next step will have to be a CGT!). Anyway, I thought I'd just introduce myself and post a few pics. I look forward to participating on this forum and learning more about these cars, although I'm certain doing so is going to make my wallet a lot lighter. Scott.

(I had to post a pic of the old ride as well...hope she finds a good home, as the wife has already nixed the idea of keeping both!)

Congrats and welcome aboard! The TT is such an amazing car for the money these days. Just won't ever sell mine.. once you mash the gas it's hard to replace something like that...

Welcome Aboard! you and me both came up through the ranks! I had a Boxster last year then bought a C2 and now a TT. I will never go back! I have had 9 second Mustangs and Camaros and they do not come close to the explosiveness of this when the boost hits!! Plus everyones head turns!!
