1. Its "grown up fast". ie: its pretty fast, but its not all race car'ed out
2. dat azz
3. Makes cool noises when you hammer on it
4. Feels small despite it not being small
5. I rarely see turbo models, so has that exclusivity to it

Every other 996 looks bland by comparison
Suitable for daily driving
Boost is always available
Draws just enough positive attention
Cheap for what it delivers in driving pleasure

1. Walking away with the check back smile and the grin approaching your ride
2. The nod to a fellow Porsche traveling in the opposite direction
3. Getting the look, smile or thumbs up from others, and telling them its a blast
4. Having neighbors strike a conversation that starts with a comment on the Turbo
5. 996 Turbo forum, from true enthusiast who support one another when we get our hands dirty.

5 Things I Love about MY 996TT?


1) The fact that I found a rare Barritz White with aero Kit


2) The Interior: BLACK w/thick alcantara flat-bottom wheel, sport seats, and lots of pristine carbon parts






3) The Stereo: Nice upgraded deck, McIntosh Power Meters, Alpine Amps & Focal Speakers






4) Rarely-seen Race Tech Forged Rims...they look awesome in person






5) That Aero-Kit-***! LOL




...ok, and the fact that it's a lot of power/performance for the money. Although I miss my Z06, this thing is more refined and feels a lot more special.

Everyday super-car, even for a 12-15 year old vehicle
That A$$
Handling
Not as expensive as a GTR to own
