996 Turbo Questions

[J.P]

Hey All,

I am starting the initial research into 996 Turbo ownership and have a few questions - have done a bit of searching and lurking, but would just like a bit more info...

1) Does 996 TT = 996 Twin Turbo ? If so are these sequential ??
2) Is the power delivery progressive or is there a bit of on-boost, off-boost feeling
3) Is the GT2 a stripped out, 2 rear wheel drive version of the 996tt or is there ALOT more to it...apart from the price hike
4) As for engine modifications, is it along the lines of ECU's/Turbo's.....X50 engine.....RUF Upgrade (in ascending price order) ??

I currently drive a Tuscan and although fast you have to drive it with alot more thought (no traction control / ABS) and I was used to having a bit more CPU power keeping me out of the ditch (E46 M3) - hence my move to Porsche.

Appols for the numpty questions, but as I said its early days yet and I am still on a learning curve...

Thanks,
James...

Thanks for the reply guys - interesting about the DB9 as well.

One question I forgot to ask...Tiptronic models - from what I can see (pictures of the 996 steering wheel) Gear selection (apart from the gearlever itself) appears to be via a rocker switch (LHS) on the steering wheel ?? Is this correct - I had SMG on the M3 so was used to paddles..

Thanks,
James...
