Just picked up my new 997tt from the dealer

Just picked up my new toy from the dealer today and all I can say is WOW, What a car.
I'll be posting pictures by friday but this is what I got:

Atlas Grey w Black
Sport Chrono
LSD
Leather Doors, center trim
Adaptive Seats
Short shifter
etc......

My only concern....when I'm rolling to a stop from a low speed (<5mph) the brakes squeel and when I let go of the brake it goes away. Only happens at very very low speed like rolling to a stop.

Other than that it's amazing.

Thanks! I figured the brakes were just a matter of breaking them in.

Any idea what insurance rates go for for these tt's? Mine will not be a DD. Prob driven 3 days a week.

Brakes will squeal like a pig when rolling to a slow stop from time to time. It means they are working

Good to hear that the noise MAY go away with use....we'll see.

I just finished applying rejex to the wheels and exhaust tips. How long are you supposed to leave that stuff on before you wipe off?

I have officially started the "mod bug itch"....clear lights are installed in the front corners. First mod complete.
Today I am getting my complimentary window tints.
Wed. I get the V1 hardwired.

oh and btw, my car came equipped with the PS2's as standard rubber.

Congrats! Drive her in good health. Seems like this last wave of TT's are coming with PS2's. Lucky guys I was so fortunate to have mine come with the superior Bridgestones. Would anyone like to trade their PS'2 for Bridgestones? Don't come rushing all at once, one at a time please.
