Got my first Porsche finally
After driving Corvettes the last 7 years I finally moved up to a Porsche.
Loving every minute of it, and this forum has been very informative.
Still have a lot to learn, but I love this car.

That is great! She is beautiful.
What is the biggest difference between the Corvette and the Porsche as a car? I just purchased a 2010 Turbo Black/Black and almost went for the TTS. If you do not mind me asking, what did you end up paying for the car? Did you drive the TT?

I have the turbo s my self. You have no idea the car you are driving is a total beast. I learn about the car more and more each day. What a pleasure to drive hard or to cruise with.

Enjoy it in the best of health.

The biggest differance is AWD, and putting the power to the ground. Of course the fit and finish, interior, brakes, and the dual clutch are so much better.
The ZO6 had some great handling on a nice clean road, and the mighty roar of the V8. Driving the Z on anything less then clean roads was a bit sketchy, like trying to make a left onto a busy street it was very easy to kick the *** out sideways, and not feeling good about it.
I did test drive a ZR1 and it felt just like my ZO6 with more power.
I really just wanted something different, and better.
I paid MSRP, there are only two dealers in Cincinnati, and only one TTS between them. Neither had a TT in stock.

I came the same route and never looked back. The faster rev speed can be a transition as well. Awesome looking rig!
