sad day today

After much thoughts and going back and forth my turbo is gone, she will be replaced with clk 63 amg black series for now. thanks for every body on this board for all the support. I will still be checking in here though, and who knows i might end up with the new turbo down the road

thanks
Ronnie

yes, you'll be back. I never should have sold my blue car. The s is nicer, faster, but not better.

Good luck with clk 63. I know that after few years it feels like you'd like something new.
Very likely as many on this forum, including me, you will regret selling the TT. You will be back to TT in a year or two and then would appreciate it much more.

I sold my C4S and had a GT3 within 4 months. That was not the original plan when I sold my C4S!

I think that "but not better' is because of PDK. I drove an 'S' with PDK for 30-45 minutes and found the fun gone and driving interest lost. Good car for the wife, daughter, Dad, etal, and for folks with no desire or have lost desire to keep required complex brain/hand/foot coordination developed with fairly constant use. Agreed, negative-issues often surface with manual boxes. Don't know what it is about the manual trans, but it adds something to the thrill of driving my turbo especially now with the newly inherited EP1 exotic sound.

To you guys who sold your Turbo S's, is it because you miss the manual? I have an 07 tip and have been itching to move up to Turbo S wtih PDK soon. 0-60 in 2.9 seconds sounds pretty damn fun to me !!
