Traded 09TT for 11TT

I've been on the fence with my 09TT (originally I was after a 11GT3RS but it didnt work out ), finally pulled the trigger on a 11TT with tons of options including lots of carbons, 8K miles, PCCB & PTV and CPO. Im still learning how to drive the PDK since I've been a diehard 6speeder for years...

Congrats on the new ride! I'm still adjusting to the PDK as well, but I'm enjoying it more and more. The PDK provides seamless power between gears, which is a hoot, but sometimes I wish there were a little more driver interaction.

Regardless, she's a beautiful car. Enjoy it!

Practice left foot braking so you can take full advantage of the car when you hit up a DE with it. Really fun

Congrats! I'm sure the "PDK or not to PDK" will keep many Porsche enthusiasts up nights.

Turbo + PDK = deadly combination. Yes, PDK and similar trasnmissions are faster on most any car, but the fact that you can shift without closing the throttle plate at all means that not only are you gaining shift time, but you are also gaining the time it takes for the turbos to re-spool after a shift. The fact that 6 speed Porches don't take kindly to power shifting also benefits the PDK setup.

Thanks guys! So far, Im enjoying the PDK transmission a lot more than I expected. The power is linear and it pulls hard from all gears. The launch control on this beast is crazy, it really pulls hard to red lines every time and it seems faster than my 13GTR. I have to find someone to drive the GTR and make a few videos from 0-60 along with 60-130 soon.

I agree with you. Sometimes, I wish I can row the gears myself but Im adjusting quite quickly with the PDK transmission. At least my wife can drive me around in the TT now...

Yes, TT + PDK is a nasty nasty combo. I cant wait to get the EP from Stef and will do some suspension mod from RSS soon.
