I did some work on this guys new '07 Porsche 997 Turbo and decided to make it an informal photoshoot....












I have some pretty good hi-res shots of the TT that I will prolly post in 'other cars'!

I must say that his car is the shizzle.....custom factory painted interior, Carbon-ceramic brakes, etc....

 

that 997 looks sweet!

 

wow nice, love all three cars.

 

sick cars

 

any more pix? interior shots ?

 

I love the 997 turbo...super car performance for a fraction of the cost...

 

 

Nice pics. thanks for sharing

 

The Porsche is auto?

Nice pics. That RX-8 looks really nice. Too bad the engines in those cars are almost useless.

 

have you guys raced each other yet? yea i know the rules, you dont have to answer that. i know the Evo won..

nice pictures

 

Tiptronic is faster than manual in acceleration b/c the computer can shift so much more cleanly and smoother than any human...

actually, the launch control preloads the turbo...

But I agree, whats the fun in that?

 

He an I had a talk about the Tip vs Manual choice and the salesman at the dealer and some other TT owners on a Porsche board said its easier to drive and will shift faster then you ever could. He's owned 2 other Porsches and they were both manual and was worried about the Tiptronic, but in the end he feels like it was a better choice!

 

The Tiptronic may be faster but it takes away from the sports car feel IMO. I always feel very disconnected when I drive a car with a auto tranny. All beautiful cars though.

 

I don't have a problem with the tiptronic from a shifting speed standpoint. Its just that its running gear robs a lot more power from the engine than a conventional manual.

Doesn't matter, though. Its still a lot better car than I can comfortably afford.

 

Eh, I woulda gotten a manual trans anyway.

Very nice cars.
