2007 997TT in the stable!

I sold my 05 LE 911S and have been on the hunt for a replacement for that AND my 04 supercharged GTO. The goat was my drag strip toy but at a little over 1000 crank hp it was not usable on the street anymore and it attracted a LOT of attention.

This seemed like the best compromise for my hobbies. The wife and I like to hit the DEs 6-10 times a year and i like to hit the drag strip on occasion as well.

We have suspension, wheels/tires, rotors/pads/fluid plans first then will add an exhaust and tune with a stronger clutch at that time. I already installed my V1, ScanGauge, and Dectane LED tails and had the car detailed and a new XPEL clear bra installed.

It is a blast to drive and the TPC turbo kit I had on my 911S really hooked me on that turbo power! The GTO's TVS supercharger was brutal on power delivery where this is smooth as silk and the AWD helps with that traction!

It was a one owner, 33K mile car with all service records and a clean DME scan. It also has the Porsche 2/24 CPO!

The color is SO SEXY. Atlas grey is amazing in and out of the sunlight!!! Sport chrono, full leather, sport adaptive seats, Bose, ect, ect.

Here are a few photos:

Great write and looking fowarding to your mods. I have had my 2007 TT since late May and still enjoying it stock. I'm thinking some suspension mods in early spring and get back into the DE scene.

Looks great! Love the color outside, and the carbon inside. With such a great start to carbon already, think about adding the center console.

Curious to hear what suspension mods you have on the wish list. Agree that's the right priority for the car.

sooooooooooo jealous of the color! I have a black one with a hardwire V1, Dectanes, and SS lines. I strongly recommend doing those while you're doing the fluid. My brakes got squishy fast when the weather got warm. You can get a full set of 4 from pelican parts for $80. You have to call them though, because they don't list part number for the TT. Congrats!

Wow! That's atlas gray? Really looks awesome, almost dark blue to a dark silvery gray from the light in your pics

Congrats!

Good, thanks for that info! /i had them on my 911S but they were there before I bought it.

Thanks for the props guys! I'm loving the car (the wife is too)!

Atlas grey is the schizzle. I love that color. If you look closely the metal flake is blue - that's why the blue hue comes in depending on the lighting.

I know! The previous owner took great care of it. The seats were better then my 24K 05 911S. He must of known how to get in and out of car properly without crushing the side bolsters!
