Substantial enough to make me realize that I am not willing to part with the 996TT at this time, as I do not want to heavily mod another car in an attempt to replicate it. I always felt that my car possessed fantastic connection to the road with seamless turbo response while providing exceptional driver feedback and sure enough - it becomes very apparent in direct comparison. Not to say the newer turbos are bad cars because they certainly are not, however, they are a much different driving experience when compared to a lowered, fully modded 996TT, so for now I am going to look to add to it with a later model, rather than let it go. Seriously considering a PDK cab for a totally different experience.
