Whats the Best Mod for a Tiptronic TT?

The TT Tip drive is a bit soft, not sure if I need an exhaust or new chip mapping to make the ride more racey like a 430 feel. Any ideas? What are the best brands to go with?

Definitely a chip, but it will never feel like a 430.

The only thing that feels like an F430 - is an F430. Totally unique experience and among the finest cars ever built. One of the few cars I would take over my 997TT.

Nico, you own a lot of cars - and many in late model years. I bet your insurance is high. Do you self insure by chance?

I was just wondering because I am thinking about self-insuring. I know that you can in CA but it takes some paperwork and a bond (I think).

Thanks anyway.
