Turbo was too boring for me and I don't think I will ever get in another turbo again. After being in CGT and GT3RS, those engines are just soo much more fun.

If you're going to drive a hardcore race-car then it's more interesting to have "all motor" and chassis without the boost. While the 997TT is an awesome car, it still "smells" like a passenger car and the goal is to have a much more "raw" Grand Prix experience. The 997TT while an awesome platform, cannot play in that market because of what it was originally designed to do. Given your progression, it makes more sense to go CGT, Enzo, CCX, or what the hell.... Formula~1. That would be the ultimate rush.

In for update...

I saw you driving down Union St not too long ago, I think we used to live very near each other in the Marina...

Car looks fabulous, I hope I can catch a glimpse of it again in the city.
