I get that feeling with my 997 turbo here in Tucson.

 

turbo anyday of the week its a better daily driver

 

I owned an Aston Martin and hated the attention the car got at times. I felt almost bad enjoying the car and a strange guilt. Can't really explain it.
Now, I have the TTS and do not feel like that at all. I'm driving an exotic car, but it almost blend with most people. I've had stares, but nothing like the AM. I love my car, and enjoy everything about it.

 

Aston Martin's are definitely a sexier car to most people than a 911. My wife LOVES Aston's and loves the R8 but she does not think my 997 turbo is all that special in the looks department compared to other exotics.

 

I almost have to agree with your wife. The AM is a beautiful car. A Ferrari is also very sexy and exotic looking, and the porsche is beautiful in it's own right but nothing like the cars just mentioned. They definitely got the look down. Now, the AM did not drive like a Porsche. There really is no substitute.

 

Has the Cayenne arrived already-seems like we were discussing that yesterday. Mine is for the TTS, can't go wrong. Been a dream to own so far, the swoosh of the turbos and the everyday usability. Compact and fun to drive, hit the sport button and it feels like she's had a serious nip and tuck and is ready to go!

Cheers,

 

The CTT came on Saturday. Absolutely love it. The Espresso/Cognac is AMAZING. Love the Burmester. Definite improvement in quality control and build (which is saying alot as my 2011 was bullet proof) from 2011. The PCCB are great. Stopping is even better than my 2011 and it was great.

Yours here yet? Post some pics of that TTS. Love seeing move pics convincing me to stay with where I should be...

Now, next question would be Center Locks of Turbo II wheels?

TTS with center locks.

 

turbo. the california's will not hold their value well over the next 5 years. porsche's with the exception of base carrera/s hold their value exceptionally well. not to mention it's cheaper and better in every single objective way. styling...subjective but i've never purchased a car based on looks, as you can tell from my sig.

 

We need some shots of your CTT! I`ve posted some on the site already of the TTS, check my earlier posts. I`d go with the centre lock option, I`ve gone with this option on the spyder wheels.

Cheers,

 

Not so true. "SOME" Ferrari owners are just as much Ar$$holes on the west coast as they are anywhere else. On the otherside of that token I know some of the greatest folks who own Ferraris. Albeit very old coaches like Daytonas et al.

I for one don't like ALL of the attention you get when you drive around in a Ferrari. Seems like everyone and their bro know that it is an expensive bit of kit. The Porsche of the other end can afford you some anonymity. For they are much more common, at least the shape of the car. And it only seems like those in the know can pick out the Porsches that are truly special.

If I were to get a Ferrari it would be something far older and with some stature. Something I could flip in a hurry and make all my money back. Again something where the depreciation curve is as flat as a Hemi Engine.

 

I have decided to get the TT S. Order being completed now. Checking on the leather bits and production ETA.

Went with center locks.

Hopefully will be here around Christmas time.

Nice and I'm sure you will enjoy it!

 

Wow, great problem to have, I test drove both and ended with the 911TT, much more versatile car.

 

Congratulations! You are going to love the car. Post pics when you get the baby/beast.
