Hey all, I can completely understand why you go nuts over the P-Cars! My bro-in-law just picked up an 03' Silver/Black 996TT 6spd. It has the sport exhaust and 18" 2-piece HRE style wheels.

He came over and said "wanna go for a ride?" I replied with "only if I'm driving with a shizzy grin on my face!" So, he gave in and tossed me the keys. The steering takes a couple minutes to get used to because its so stiff.

We drove it for a little while just cruising so I could get used to it. Then, the fun began! I got on it getting onto the freeway and by the time I shifted into 3rd, I was at 90+! OMG! I had to slow down (didn't have my radar).

I can surely say that when I get the chance I am set on wanting a TT P-car!

Amazing! Absolutely amazing!

 

tip of the iceberg

 

good stuff...it sure is fun!

 

I can't stop thinking about it! That thing is stock and alot of you guys are running 600+whp!? Holy S**T!

 

Tip of the iceberg is right. It takes some time behind the wheel (and some track time) to really appreciate the engineering and driving experience that this car has going for it.

As if that wasn't enough, these cars are built like anvils.

 

I completely agree my friend. My bro-in-law said that next year, after he has the upgrades done over the winter, he'll starting running it at Miller's Track in Tooele. He asked if I wanted to join in and get some good track time in with him. I am taking him up on that offer!

I enjoyed just the little bit of cruising we did in it. I definately enjoyed the stares we got (probably gets old for some people)

 

Very cool. Tell your bro in law to get to the track with the car the way it is and work on learning how to drive the car stock and mods it little by little. (while still going to the track)

 

Where are these wondrous "tracks" that you guys can just go to all the time and drive on? Do they have open track days that often where you live? I've been checking Road Atlanta's website and it looks to me like there is only one day the whole year, and that is the Porsche club day.

Cool story man.....i had a similar experience with a few P-cars over the past year and i have been obsessing over owning my own ever since. Our time will come

 

it is quite addictive.....but very well worth it.

 

Well, around here we just have the 1 track. Larry Miller built it and its been going like crazy! They have set days that you can go down and run your car. Its the first 1 here and its sooooo busy already!

 

I wish they had something like that around Atlanta that was open to the public more often. There are quite a few drag strips, but I don't know about any road tracks near here other than Road Atlanta.

 

He's actually got alot of track time in (both Auto-X and drag) in alot of different cars. This is his first exotic, but I'm confident he can handle it.

 

Thanks. I had actually talked to my wife about purchasing your Evo, but she won't budge on the word "no!".

 

Then why does he want to wain untill next year when he is "done with it" to take it to the track? A stock TT is a great track car. Somebody who is serious about enjoying the track does not wait untill "it's done".
