Just curious, how many of you plan to keep your 996TT indefinitely or dare I say it, forever?

How many have plans to switch to something else in the near/long term future. If so, what are you planning on getting to replace the Turbo?

After selling and upgrading (6) other 911's,
I will keep this one and only add to the small fleet at this point.

Have been through 4 911's and the 996TT is the 5th. Love this car, and have really grown accustomed to the tiptronic in my baby. Will keep this car for the next few years for sure. If and when the time comes to change it will either be a brand new 997TT with the new semi automatic gearbox or a second hand gallardo.

Dont plan on getting rid of the TT. Will add some cars, but mainly for the wife and towing the TT to and from the track. I think I'm going to get a hybrid of some sort to drive on the street. Going green as much as I can.

Life is too short to keep the car, I think moving on to bigger and better things is the natural process. I love my TT , and for now I still love driving it, but I know how I am it wont stay for long.

The way I keep throwing $$$ at the car (Europipe Stage 2 Loud, SSK & other assorted essential) must mean that I intend to keep for a while......

What could I possibly get that would surpass my GT2? There is a car or two that might have an edge in terms of looks..(Maybe, big maybe an f car or Lambo) and maybe a car w/ more power (TT Viper, Poopra...although for overall performance track etc, I think my car is THE package) so what would I be stepping up to?

My 996TT is the longest car I've ever owned, modded it as soon as the warranty was up. I just plan on adding to the collection as well.
