My old car..should I have kept it?

The TT is my first porsche and I haven't done any mod's yet. I have done every bolt-on imaginable on my previous cars. I told my wife if I bought a 911 Turbo, I wouldn't need anymore power or upgrades. 7 months later...what a lie!!! Anyway, now looking into Evo Stg 4 and JIC cross suspension and will definitely paint the sideskirts,front lip, etc...I've always been an addict! Here is my last car..I'm not sure if this forum is much of a vette fan, but I really did love that car..'01 Z06. I upgraded the intake, suspension, shorty shifter, and a few other stuff.

Haha good on you. Seriously you're in a far better car than that... Yes the Z06 was a torquey SOB but the TT's balance, poise and rigidity, chasis and need I go on?

No question Sharky, the vette was a really fun muscle car (my first really fast auto), but its nothing compared to my x50. I'll never look back!!

Yea man i often have regrets with selling my M3, then everytime i get into the Porsche and take a few turns, lay into the throttle and grip that wheel its intoxicating and im so glad i hopped into one. Although i am wanted and needing alot more power and upgrades, it really is just perfect at where it is now!

Once a 911 owner you always be a 911 owner. So sell the Z and mod the hell out of the X50. LOL

kept the vette over your 911 Turbo? HELL NO.

Now kept it ALONG with your Turbo? YES. It would make a nice track car..
