Looks incredible! Congrats. Just curious why did you go with tip? (not that there is anything wrong with it)
Enjoy!

 

As a daily driver the TIP offers convenience, control, and comfort and allows my wife to enjoy the TT (with a 6 speed she won't touch the car and that is simply not fair to her). Further, the performance offered by the TT is such that the TIP is within a nano second of the 6 speed, if not equal or better under all but optimum conditions with all but expert drivers.

When racers like Hurley Haywood state they prefer a TIP in a TT for street driving, one should have a high level of confidence that the decision is sound. The owner principal of my Pcar dealership really lobbied me toward the TIP as did my salesperson (who is a 15 year Pcar salesman and FRIEND). Neither of these men would make such a suggestion if it would have compromised my enjoyment of this wonderful automobile.


While having put only 300 miles on in a week, I must say I enjoy being able to ignore shifting when I want and conversely, can shift using the steering wheel TIP switches when I want. I see this as the best of both worlds and all without any significantly measureable loss of performance.

Done tastefully....two tone interior. Good job! What kind of wheels are you getting?

 

Looks great..porsche should release a semi-manual transmission (with no torque converter)

 

I have already sold several mods that I had acquired and planned for the "S" since they would not enhance the visual statement of the car. The wheel issue is one I will have to rethink as the factory Turbo wheels finished in GT silver (stock) are very complimentary to the overall package. The "S" is unique enough that having to change the wheels to make an individual statement may not be necessary; the car does that pretty well as it is.

I do like the simplicity of the Techart Formula wheel in high polish or chrome & paint. The contrast of high polish with the Seal Gray is flattering, and unlike other TT's, the "S" has chrome on the body (Turbo S on engine bonnet).

Most on this board prefer black or dark wheels and I don't. That's what makes this hobby enjoyable, variation. If we all did the same thing, it would become boring. I have admired several cars on this board where high polish or chrome wheels have made an awesome statement; I will just have to play with options.

 

Leave it stock - it is stunning

Stock = modded TT anyway these days since veryone has a modded TT

 

I LOVE THE INT...

 

That's Hot!

 

John - all of your stuff is just about ready.

However, now that I've seen the vehicle, I think the installation will need to take place here at plug headquarters.

Can you please flatbed the car to us this week, and we'll be sure it's back to you in a month or two. You know, installing those bumper plugs will take some time, and of course, the wing will require a substantial road test.

I don't think you'll have to worry about the break-in after we're done.

So...is that ok?

 

Darren echos my words..be one of the few the proud and the stock...

just 1 piece of info Ernie of Ernies Alloys fame (dont know how many board members know of him) has every Turbo w/delivery miles since inception in 1979 up and through 2 TT's an X50 and 2 GT2's..he quotes too me the factory wheel on a Porsche is one of the best made..

 

Very nice, good job with the options...

I would leave the wheels alone too, the GT Silver paint distinguishes them well enough. And certainly no body kits....

 

Ray any new news on the car front?

 

Eric, A quality company specializing in exemplary customer service would come to Knoxville and facilitate the installations in my garage. What do you think?

 

Awsome enjoy it.. I love the interior combo.

Is it just me or is there alot of Turbo S's out with the Tiptronic.

 

Looks very nice! But the right seat looks more rippled in the leather than the left seat, is that suposed to be?
