Pics of All-New 997 TT on the road today in Atlanta
Was in Atlanta this week driving down Hammond Drive, and right when I was crossing over I-285 on the bridge on Hammond I spot a brand new black 997 twin turbo coupe with a distributor tag. I guess this is because Porsche Headquarters for North America is in Atlanta, Georgia, right off of Hammond.... as a matter of fact I believe the gentleman driving the car pulled right out of the Porsche Corporate Headquarters. The car kept taking off too fast and it was bumper to bumper traffic around 5:15 p.m., so it was hard to get to it, and plus the pics are retardedly low quality from the cell phone, but atleast you can still see what it is, the wheels are pretty cool though.
Beautiful car, very wide, much wider than the new Carrera 4S, but still a chipped SL 65 would smoke it,... better to wait 2 more years and get the all-new upcoming SL 69 AMG !!

BHP with full mods could reach close to 800hp. For a car that weighs less than any MB.

As far as pulling from a roll against an SL65, it's anybodies guess right know. After I get it broken in I plan on doing a few pulls against my SL55 after I get the Kleeman K2 tuning.
