I took that typo too far, didn't I?

Mine had a 148k sticker, 3k miles, 07, got it for 82, that's a pretty nice discount.

I also have a DeLorean. The 2104 Porsches are pretty similar in form to the current model, hehehe! Towing the 2104 back behind the DeLorean was not easy, let me tell you. Didn't see my typo in my original post.

Anyways, I have driven the 997 TT, and it is a great car. I just sold a '13 Shelby GT500, and it had 662 HP and 631 ft/lb torque, and while nowhere near the styling or handling of the TT, it had a lot of get up and go, at least in a straight line!!!

But for me, I think the C2S Cab I bought is a nice first Porsche to start with, then transition to a TT in a couple years. I am trying to take it easy on taking the new car out until I get plastic applied to the front, but the couple times I have given it the gas, it goes pretty quickly.

What I really like about the car, and I assume this goes for the TT as well, is that it makes even lower speed driving enjoyable because of the build quality and handling of the car. I can't say the Shelby was really fun to drive around at low speeds.
