This car is 90-95% the straight line acceleration of my evo700 tt maybe 70% the handling and being that i NEVER tracked my car nor intended to, the car handles amazing for me!!! but i gotta tell u in the summertime here in michigan that hard top that folds back into the trunk is SUCH a pleasure and the ride of the car is like BUTTER!! Great car, happy customer....all together different car from my porsche and not taking away anything from my tt other than a change is NICE. 2 kills my buddies 01stock tt ran away from it and today was a 997 911 S that got his world rocked.....im sure i will be back into the porsche ownership down the road maybe with a 997 or next 998 turbo but until then i havent missed my 996tt. and still got a turbo porsche albeit the cayenne.....

Congratulations on acquiring a truly awesome and extremely rare automobile. Like you said, you can see 20 TT's for every 1 SL65. During baseball preseason last year we had the pleasure of doing an engine chip on a players SL65 that added 100+ HP and 200+ ft./lbs. of torque. As you can imagine, that car was unbelieveable. I have an SL55 that I thought would be tough to top, but leave it to MB to not only top it, but absolutely dwarf its performance. Anyhow, enjoy that car!
