Just drove Turbodickie's 997TT
Dickie threw me the keys to his 6-Speed, Sport-Chrono car, and let me and a buddy take it for a drive.:)
Overall impression; feels like a X50 car with no lag and better suspension. Love the interior, I think the new dash is great. Feels very solid....and I think it looks better in person than in pictures. I think Porsche did a great job with this car. Thanks again, Dickie! P.S. - This car is Dickie's 24th Turbo Porsche. :D |
Scott, you're back home now? Dickie's Porsche is really amazing isn't it. Dickie gave me an awesome ride in his Turbo. He let me drive too but I was very careful to be gentle with his new toy.

How's that Turbo of yours running Scott? How does the 997 Turbo stack up against your car?

I will say that out of all of the 'stock' perfomance cars I've ever driven, the 997TT is probably the best one overall. Prior to today, a 996 GT2 that I drove last year held that title. |

My modified car currently makes more than 200 hp and 200 more ft lbs. of torque than a stock 997TT does. Power wise, it's analogous to comparing the 480 HP 997TT to a 270 HP Acura TL. You just can't fairly compare properly modified cars to similar stock ones.
