Rock and Vic said I could....

Hahaha just wanted to post the newest set on the Grey Ghost.

I think these are my favorite yet!!! As always, love my boys at Wheel Enhancement for hooking it up! Ordered these wheels in late May and they got done late June and finally got around to putting them on.

Also, I love these lugs by Tikore!! The attention to detail and quality is superb. Plus the customer service -- especially Charlie -- was second to none!! Thanks guys!!

Wheels are Satin Bronze 20" HRE S107s with carbon fiber centercaps.

I am loving the new 991TTS. Mine would be blue of course with two tone black and silver interior with yellow seat belts and gauges to match the brake calipers.

Other than the ability to go to warp speed in less than 3 seconds, I personally do not like the overall drive of the P car. Yes I owned one of them (997S) and drove a 997TT for a week.
The lack of aural feedback even with a fabspeed exhaust and the lack of torque was a big let down.
I am also not a big fan of the interior with the invasion of buttons.
They do look great and have a unique aura. Sorry to go off topic OP. Your car looks great.

this may sound strange but when sitting in the newer model 911's vs older ones, I don't like looking out the windshield and not being able to see the front of the car, can't judge distance for parking, the older 911's had longer front end headlights that were visible when driving.

I have only driven 997.1 and 997.2 turbos but didn't think the torque seemed lacking but then again they were all bolt on tuned cars of friends.

When I was trying to decide what to replace the cls63 with I considered lightly used 997.2TTs because a new 991TTS was just too much to pay for me for a car. Ultimately I went with a heacily discounted new GT-R because I thought it was more fun than a used 997TT and could be quicker with bolt-ons and flexfuel. The 997TTs did not seem like a big enough improvement in luxury to justify the premium in price.

That being said the new 991TTS and TT platform does really seem to be light years ahead of the GTR in terms of interior, fit and finish, and is a much better performer stock for stock. It seems like it really can play the dual role of luxury grand tourer and hardcore sports car. Given the historical depreciation curve on the 997s I am hoping I can find a lightly used one in a year or two that works within my budget. Still I have yet to drive one. For those of you have owned both generations what do you think of the 991TTS?

I will have to drive a 997TT to see how it feels. I do like the look of the 991 better than the 997.
The new PDK and sport button features do help quite a bit. It's the slight wiggle of the rear end when you step on a tuned AMG that makes me smile every time that I miss in the TT. Sure the TT off the line is the fastest.
You do bring a great point that the price now for TT is a minimum of 150K and more like 175K with the right options which is Mclaren pricing.
