Do it, T! M5 is fast and comfortable, but the TT takes it to another level. I love forced induction
I have my wife's Jeep for hauling purposes. My 'fun' car has no need for storage or 4 doors.

I considered both of those wheels. The RG5's are great looking, but they come in weird fitments (11.5 rear??). Vendor was/is selling a beautiful set of black Dymags with custom offsets for a 997tt.....for $7000.....'discount' compared to regular retail, but I just couldn't stomach spending that much on only the wheels and no tires. Plus, if I ever curbed that CF.....cha-ching!!!!
Yeah we have an MDX for long trips and stuff and my 4.5 yr old can fit fine in those little back seats in the Porsche just fine.

Maybe I'll get rid of the MDX instead.

There will be deals to be had in the next few months with the 997.2TT on the horizon. Dry sump die-hards will be holding on to their 997.1's but those who just want the latest (not necessarily the greatest), will be unloading theirs for the new model. I got mine for a pretty good deal, so I don't regret not waiting Keep an eye out....and sell that MDX!

DAYUM! Love those wheels!

I must be the odd one out, but not a big fan of carbon fiber... but goddamn... hot wheels!


Those are the stock wheels but yes they are GORGEOUS....and the car itself is not too shabby either

That thing is amazing. Perfect upgrade from the M5.

The cooler weather in AZ should be giving you some extra grunt.

I saw one coming home from SF today and drove next to it to give the driver a thumbs up but he didn't look over. Such an awesome looking car.
