I hope you love it. It's considered a supercar, so you will never lose off a stop light. What's their 0-60 time?

Are you leasing? If so, what's the lease price, term length, and % down? As you know I am considering switching from my mod'd 545i to a 911 (not sure if I want C2 or C2S, but depending on leases and residual, would consider the Turbo.

0-60 is about 3.4 sec from porsche's website, i'm not leasing this one as the residual they offer is not as good as the real value this car keeps.. you can go to porsche's website and use the payment estimator to check on a lease prices for your desired car.

So if Porsche says 0-60 in 3.4, what's the truth? More like 3 or 3.1- or are they not as conservative as BMW?

What was retail?
Did you get or does it come with the full leather package (dash, etc.)?

Congrats!! I tested the 997 turbo when I was in Germany a couple of weeks ago and I must say it's an enormous good car. On the autobahn I drove 301km/h
Congrats again to a wonderful car!!

WOW. 997TT is one incredibly badass rig. I like speed yellow too. I couldn't order it for myself, but really like it.

Nice car!

Coming out of the toll booth onto to the A8 coming out of Cannes the other night there was a brand new one in that funny blue colour, we both left at the same time and both floored it, that thing is seriously rapid, by the time I was at 160kmph he must have been at least the same distance ahead of me again, very very impressive!

Very jealous.
