Its soooo hard to go from a TT to an NA....Just not the same
Esp. since the 996TT is AWD while the 997 C2S is RWD...

well,the steering will be better on a non 4wd car surely for a start.Performance is not so far apart 0-60 4 vs 4.6,o-100 10.00 vs 10.8
JUst currently running an AMG SL55 ,thinkin about going back to a porker,but not the tt as my last one caught fire (see previous post ref this )

MSindi..you post on the BMW m5 messageboard ?

Concur - in day to day driving I think you get more time to play with the power (those brutal acceleration runs between stop lights) rather than the handling.

I can't imagine not having a turbo/supercharger on anything I drive. My truck and bug both have 'em. Gotta have it

the TT held the road better on corners due to the awd...and of course was alot faster but for the some reason the 997 feels tighter when driving...I cant explain it...

Give it a month ... or a couple minutes behind the drivers seat of a TT ...

My palms would get sweaty and I'd really get nervous when I used to hit the electronically limited 140mph in my M3 ... i thinks that's about average cruising speed in the TT now ...

The tt has more raw power but the 997 S is more refined. I am very satisfied going from the tt to the 997 S.

I couldn't imagine going from 510 ponies to 350. I think if I were to switch to a 997, I'd have to wait for the gt3.
