Ummmm, I don't think I'd be sad with a replacement Lambo like that!

thanks. its an '02. has roadster wheels, otherwise its stock. 9600 miles on it. probably won't do too much with it. probably will just get an exhaust.

interior is kind of boring looking, except for some crazy floormats. radio is horrible, but i drove it 150 miles yesterday and only had the radio on for maybe 10 mins of that.

its fast, but feels big and heavy. its definitely not as well built or as well designed as a porsche.

i only got some crappy pics right now. one day i'll get around to doing a proper photoshoot with the other cars.

its funny, i had these things in my head that i could complain about, but in the end its like having a supermodel girlfriend and complaining she keeps leaving the top off the toothpaste.

like the build quality doesnt seem so great. stupid things like the sun visors and ashtray are pretty crappy.

yes ergonomically, the car is difficult. power, too soon to tell. i havent hit redline yet. i had one run with an m3 up to about 130 without breaking a sweat, but i didnt want to get arrested.

handling? also, too soon for me to tell. its surprisingly nimble for its size, but its definitely better at long high speed freeway romps, rather than backroads twisty bits.


maybe i can sum it up like this. if i was ever the victim of home invasion and i was trying to get away, and i had my 996TT and all my other cars in the driveway, if i hopped in the porsche and the bad guy had similar skills as i did, he wouldnt be able to catch me.

in my experience, from the few cars i own currently or have owned, the 996TT has been the best overall tool for speed. other cars i own will challenge you as a driver, while the turbo makes you look like a better driver than you probably are, as it is that effortless to go fast.
