My TT has a new stablemate

My 997TT was feeling lonely so I looked around for a mate for her... A few weeks ago I brought home another TT to keep them company...

Which behind do you guys like better? I kinda like the white one due to its huge quad-tips... Sorry for the poor iPhone's pic.

One has beautiful rounded hips with such a sexy ***.......the other is a slab sided tomboy with no curves and four big holes stuck out the ***.

I respect the GT-R plenty for what it does but "a looker" it is not. The *** of a widebody Porsche is hard to beat......and the GT-R just doesn't do it for me.

Well done. The GTR is a lot of car for the cash...... how about a little comparison?

Nice ride...still love your '09 turbo though. Glad you didn't sell it as it's setup perfectly with the aerokit and PCCB.

Throw some LEDs on that bad boy already.

That's a nice beater(haha). The 997TT looks positively svelte next to Godzilla. For anyone not understanding the massive size of a GT-R:

Congrats, but parking a White GTR next to a Black Porsche turbo unfortunately makes GTR look like a slabby square assed fruit box. A performer it may be, but a looker in this company it is certainly not.

The GT-R is massive next to the NSX, interested to see a angle shot showing both rear and side.

The 997TT is definitely a GEM. Having it in black is a little bit more work than usual, it's like I have a second job trying to keep it clean.

Thank you. The GTR is definitely a lot cheaper to mod than the 997TT.

They bring different kind of smiles to my face when I drive them. The GTR surprisingly edges out on the stare department from the overall population. However, if I want to go out to a nice fancy dinner with the wife and friends, I will take the 997TT over the GTR anytime and every time. The GTR offers a lot of performance for the money, handling is superb for its 3892lbs size but the 997TT Porsche, well... "There is no substitute". There's no doubt in my mind that the 997TT edges out the Nissan but the GTR offers the two cars solution to the white 2012TTS's itches.

I agree, the GTR isnt for everyone, especially in the Porsche 997TT's camp, it's a love hate situation and you either love it or you hate it. For me, I love it for its point-and-steer performance, it's a pain in the **** to row through gears in mad downtown traffic (that's why I only put ~6K miles in nearly 2yrs of ownership).

LOL... No doubt and the GTR is surprisingly much bigger than the 997TT. My wife likes the GTR better because she hates rowing gears.

Not a fan of the GTR either, other than it's "ok" performance numbers. As amerlemans put it ... it does nothing for me either... sorry
But hey, if you like it, that's great... and I'm sure it's a great car for your wife

[edit]... I feel somewhat bad for my comment above.
Even though it's not my "cup of tea". We're all enthusiasts, that spend a lot of money on our cars... so congrats!!!
