Looks great, wheels a bit bling though.

... there's a Carrera GT sitting outside my house too, looking rather nice!

P.S. I thought that the wheels on the 997 TT were too bling at first but I have now been won over - I think that time will make most like them.

Wheels are growing on me too now after not liking them in pics. I do think though that they make the brake discs look a litte puny. They are not of course but the wheels do swamp them a little, esp at the rear.

this has ceramic brakes and discs as big as, well, something very big.

Cool, bet it looked awesome !

Off topic a little, was looking at the specs on the Porsche website which lists the manual 997TT's weight as 1585kg. The 996TT is 1540kg. I was under the impression that the 997TT was lighter ??

From the info I've got the 996TT weighed in at 1590kg (unladen DIN)..... And as you suggest 997 is 1585kg....

Ooooh - 5kg in it! Have a good dump before trading up and you'll double that!
