WOW! You still haven't seen it? I know you are modding it but that HAS to be tough to not even have it yet!

The car has a clear bra on the front and other places. It is MINT!

How much longer until they ship it and you actually have it?

Sorry for the thread jack!

I just have to say this. I just HATE the GT3 look.

The smiley thing is just too weird for me.

Your pics and the 996 above me. THAT is just the stuff!!!

To each his own though. No offense to any GT owners here.

Well side by side the P car pulls the E55 1.5 to 2 cars in every gear on a 45 to 130 roll. The E55 traps 122.xx and the TT runs 128.xx in the quarter. I guess its like comparing a fast sedan and a true sports car. Very different indeed. I like the TT for short trips where not much gear or golf clubs are needed. The E shines for room and that torque is instant. The TT has plenty of torque but seems to be a gradual build not there in an instant like the E. I think that a Grand Tourisimo would fit in between these two rides in terms of type of car:

996TT: Sports Car
Maserati Grand Tourismo: Sport Grand Touring Car
E55 AMG: Sport Sedan
