No exaggeration - if I ordered a 997TT, I would have different wheels waiting at the dealership before I drove it.

So you really hate them!
Anyway I saw a few pic of a TT with black TA wheels and was terrific...mind blowing

Probably a few more options like mp3-able radios, don't think you'll see the power kit or aero until late '08.
I saw on anaother board where they are no longer offering ssk's, hope that's not true.

Every car reviewer has found the exhaust sound unworthy of a "super" sport car.They should at least offer a sport exhaust option.

While I am at it, the look of the car is very predestrian almost indistinguishable from other Porsche's. They need to spruce it up and give it a distinct super car look. The CGT headlights would be a good start.

Well...I thought the sound could have been more noisy, something sportier.
Anyway I have to say I really like it and maybe on the future TT Cabrio should be better...surely you can hear it much!
I hope the new 997 GT2 to have a much louder sound...
About the looks I have to say the car isn't as sexy as a G but it's semplicity is exactly what astonishes more about the 911...you would never aspect it to be as fast as a CGT from 0 to 60.
