GT2 First Impressions

Some of you know that I have a tt on order. I decided last week with much support from my wife that I really wanted a GT2 rather than the tt . I found one in Maryland. went out with a friend in a E55 and came back with a 04 GT2 We drove straight thru back to Wisconsin, Around 1100 miles great combination of turnpiike and 2 lanes.
I have just gotten up from a little rest (not in the car) after 2000 miles in two days on the road.
These are some of my first impressions:

The sport seats are amazingly comfortable for long distances.
I was concerned about the harshness of the supension. also no problem
Black GT2' s Are invisible to radar
I have never felt more connected to a car
Boost seems very linear, compared to my old turbo
No oil consumption! (can this be right?)
No issues with ground clearence(yet)
Time to go sit in the car ( I hope it doesn't snow today) I write more later
Ps: Is anyone looking for a TT coupe, I have to call the dealer and cancel it Monday
Bob

Ditch the sports seats and get GT3 seats they are a major improvement. Other than that enjoy a great ride!
