I was thinking of possibly getting a 996 Turbo Cab. some time soon. My questions are does the car feel alot different then the coupe. Is it alot heavier feeling and handle any different?
Reason I ask, my 02 M3 Cab was quite a pig compared to the M3 coupe.

 

I don't know too many that have both for true comparison, but my cabby handles quite well...best handling cab I've ever owned...although I did do some minor upgrades!

Only advice is to go drive one yourself!

 

Thanks Wross996tt.

 

Doesn't feel much heavier. Nicer driving experience imho.

All you really need on a cab is stage II and it makes it a pretty fast car.

 

I have never driven the cab, but with my past experience with the M, I thought it would have a different road feel. Also is there alot more cowl shake with the Cab? I know Porsche already has a very rigid frame. Thanks for any other info. Also how heavy is the hard top?

 

M3CAB, how about a 997TT?

 

Hey Maxwell, I have thought about the 997 also(still growing on me), but really miss that open top feeling. Unfortunately cannot afford both.

 

M3CAB,

Driven both the TTCoupe and own a TTCab. Yes the cab is a few pounds heavier. Change out the exhaust, go with the ceramic brakes and you're pretty damn close to the weight of a stock coupe. As far as ride goes, you'll love the open air feeling in a tt cab! If you're ever is So Cal give me a call and I'll be happy to meet up with you and give you the "experience". Did I mention baby is at stage 4? She'll either put a smile on your face or make you shake!!

 

Thanks for your experience with both. So I guess both cars are pretty close in weight. My M3 cab was 400+ lbs heavier then the coupe and really felt heavy while accelerating. I also appreciate the offer for the ride.
