Obsessed with Cobalt

After seeing a multitude of terrible pictures of Atomic80's Cobalt TT, I regretted getting the Lapis Blue (probably my second fav color), so I picked up one of these today... Sorry about the terrible pic. Could not find my camera

I think we're all obsessed with Atomic's Cobalt. Pretty common reaction when you see his car.

I know you were kidding. I was being equally sarcastic in return.

And hi John!

got a cobalt in here for PSS9s and soon the EVT700. Agreed it's a fantastic color for the TT (or Cayman actually).

It's an IS-F. No serious comparo yet as it only has 20 miles on it, but the handling is amazing. The sound is also intoxicating.

Yup, saw one at my local dealer last week. It was black on black sitting in the showroom and I didn't notice it at first and walked right past it. Now that's what I would call a sleeper car.

Nothing to make fun of. If you look at the new Audi R8, it's got the same set up.

Congrats on the new toy and color that you wanted. It is a pretty color.

The Colbolt doesn't really show well with Jason's pictures. It's not his fault he doesn't know how to use PS3 or Lightroom that well

In all seriousness that color is very bold and beautiful in person and more than pictures can ever make it. Even though Jason does a great job and representing the color on screen!

Break the IS-F in and let us know your thoughts! I wonder who will be the first tuner for that motor!
