Bought my first Porsche today.

I bought an 04 TT Cab 6 speed with the X50 package. Drove it like a grandma, still getting used to the clutch. Just getting a feel for it, it is definitely a beast though.

Didn't want to leave anything on the table. I didn't want to have to mod anything, even though I probably will anyways. Just want to get used to the car a little. Haven't driven a stick in years. Looking forward to a lot of fun.

Its's a must you have to post pics asap, its a crime to have such a nice car with the upgrade engine and not leave us pictures to drool over.....

As moderator I must agree as drooling over a new toy is always a requirement.

Well done and yes the clutch is hydrualically assisted so there's no feel with the engagement point being high. Just let the pedal up without touching the gas until she moves
