I would've got other colors for both and other wheels for the TT.

Might be a lucky dude, but if you work hard this might be the result

Like Mihals said, great taste!

How often are you guys in Europe (TT, Dani, Wutputt, MIHALS....other "hunters") seeing the 997TT on the roads there at the moment?

wow, my beloved Turbo!

God, that's one nice garage there... and the review says it all, the M5 for ordinary use and the Turbo for weekends on the b-roads

Lucky man, I'll be there some day too.

Comments from the owner , M5 vs 997TT

thank you everyone for all the compliments. i've had a chance to put 500 miles on the turbo over the past week and here are my initial impressions versus the M5 which i have logged approximately 9000 miles on over that last 6 months. the turbo is hands down the better performer in terms of straight line acceleration. i expected this since the car makes 505 lb ft of torque from 2000 - 5000 rpms versus 383 lb ft on the M5. The 0-60 mph is definitely quicker as is the quarter mile. i've run my M5 at the drag strip without the charcoal filters and my best was a 12.57 @ 115 mph. This was with a 0 - 60 ft time of 1.95 seconds, which is a good launch for an M5. Since i have ran many cars down the drag strip, i think i can guess what the new 997 Turbo will do. I think the car is capable of running 11.7's @ 120+ mph. The 0 - 60 ft time should be around 1.70 seconds. As far as handling is concerned, the 997 Turbo sticks to the road like glue, even in wet road conditions and i was extremely impressed - also, a good deal better than the M5. In terms of braking, both cars are very comparable. Then i finally drove my M5 for the first time in a week, and I realized just how much of a pleasure it really was. The M5 may trail in straight line performance and around the turns, however, if you value comfort, the M5 has it all. If I had to grade the cars in terms of raw performance (straight line and handling), and if the 997 Turbo received an "A", I would give the M5 a "B+" But the reality is, i would rather drive the M5 everyday since comfort is a factor. When i got back into the M5, i felt like i was getting into the hot tub after a hard days work. it was just so damn comfortable! The 997 turbo can certainly be a good daily driver, however, you will definitely give up a certain level of comfort. But there will definitely be days where i just want raw performance and drive balls to the wall - this is where the 997 Turbo will shine. The M5 is truly a luxury sports sedan - and it will be extremely difficult for any car to beat it in that category!
