I just winced.....

Ouch, someone wanted that PTT bad.
I hope you did not pay sticker for the CLS.
Congrats on the PTT. Please post pics

Pissing money away is the norm nowadays, easy come easy go. Enjoy the P.

None of us swap out hi performance cars every 1 to 3 years because it is a good investment. We do it because it is one of the rewards for working so hard and a hobby we are passonate about. Some people knit.

Any high performance car is going to have crushing depreciation in the first 2 years (including the P cars). You can manage it a little by getting a good deal on the buyside and selling privately (as I did in my case) but you just have to accept a pay to play attitude if you want to roll in the newest and fastest ride you can afford.

Where are those pics of the TTS!!!

I **** alot and I agree, the reward for ownership during the shorter terms is worth the ****- almost always LOL.

So far very,very happy with that thing,performance is just otherworldly and traction seems limitless.
What shocked me the most though,is the incredible stability at speed,something that was not a well known trait in previous Turbos.

That is a nice looking combo on your 991TTS! Congrats!

Congrats that thing is sick !

how do u like that new escort passport

Congrats ! I like the new 911TT a lot than old ones

Worth the $$,more sensitive,earlier warning then 9500,better filtration of false alarms,automatic audio reminder of speed limit wherever you are.

I've been using a redline for a while. Its nice. Had an 8500 for 8 years. Never failed me
.

nice Pcar Absent

Absent that 991TT-S is purely amazing. I have had 3 previous generation Turbos and now have a 991C4S on a whim. YOu are so right about the stability at 160 plus; the 991 Chassis has advanced incredibly with the wheel base, pushing the engine slightly forward, lowering the roof line, and other adjustments. I remember my 996 was a floatation over 160 at times and even the 997.2 TT as well but this car is a grabber. No wonder the C2S was the drivers car of the year in 2012 and the C4S in 2013. I got the C4S to fill a gap prior to my GT3 which comes next year but Im rethinking the Turbo....

Congrats again but how did they get you on the front plate?

I thought this was a Mercedes forum?!?! Why all the talk about Porsches? Let's stick to the topic fellas. Geeez. Ok, now that I got that off my chest...let's talk about my BMWs shall we. Hmmmmmmmm. Oh, getting the M3 supercharged today. See I told you Vic I wasn't going to mod it.

I didnt even bat an eye when I just read this---- what charger are you going with ?? ESS??

Yup!! In Irvine right now dropping her off for a ESS VT2-585 charger.

Im in Irvine right now, what shop!!!!

wait text me instead- keep the thread clean LOL

I know,I know...
Please understand that it is my daily driver,I will put close to 20k miles in just a year on it and I am really worn out dealing with cops here,getting the ticket EVERY time I park my car with no plate in front.
I could live with that on my weekend warriors (like 458) but with daily driver I just don't have the energy......

Makes 100% sense... or could you run no plates and temp reg in the glass for a while?

Plates transferred from CLS,besides,in Illinois new car dealers have plates on site,no more temp stickers on the window.

Great looking car. I love the new look of the 991 and the look alike MB exhaust .
I can't stomach the 180K sticker. I need to work smarter to make more $$$.

ordered my W222 this evening: not damn that thing is nuts.......

got the white one diamond white or something....

white is nice, we will probably order one soon, 5th S class, one of each since 1985

still got them all
the new one didnt drive much different than the w221 though.....

Congrats! Looks amazing. This very well may be my next car.
