my dad just got a 2007 carrera 4s.....i tried sooo hard to try and get him to get the turbo but he just wouldnt budge, heard the turbo road just a little too rough (any comments) and he drives his porsche every day in the summer. I also told the dealer not to touch his car....but they did listen
alll swirled up first day he got it a month or so ago and i havent got to get the cyclo on it yet :-x... can you tell me what you think of the turbo? is it worth the 30k jump from the c4s? its 0-60 in like 3.5 right? UNREAL
Too bad your dad's dealer did not listen. I'd be
The TT rides no rougher than the C4S and with sports chrono you can change the ride characteristics of the car from pretty rough to surprisingly comfortable. I know many people who bought heavily optioned C4S' and by the time they were done were right up there price wise as a base TT. If you keep the C4S option list short than it is a pretty significant jump. Is it worth it? Can't answer that for anyone else.
The difference in price between my TT and '06 C2S that I traded was almost 60K. Is the TT 60K better? I'd say no but I wanted it and it makes me happy, so what the hell LOL!
Personally I would rather have a C2S than a 4 (and in some instances even a TT). The 2S is a much more direct, sporty, traditional porsche than the AWD cars. In some ways it is more fun to drive than the others. If you're going to be in a lot of bad weather or use all year round than a 4S is a good choice.
The TT has actually been criticized lately (unfairly in many cases IMHO) as being too soft, heavy, etc. and too "GT" as opposed to hard core sports car. That's why the GT3 exists. Also, the C2S is sooooo good.
The GT3 was not an option for me as it is j ust too hard core, especailly for the NY roads and I'm a sucker for power - also very easy to mod a TT into crazy power.
No car is perfect and neither is the TT. However, it is truly an everyday supercar. Is it the fastest? NO. Best handler? NO. Best on the track? NO. But, add up everything the TT does well and it's tough to beat. My car is fast as hell, has grip that defies physics and is full of high quality leather and Carbon fiber. Can take it to the track and hold my own against almost anything, drive it home, and then take my wife out to dinner in it. Not too many cars you can do that in.
