embarrassed moment with my cars

[M2withACC]

hey folks,

First off, I wanna say I just had a bottle of red wine.
I am not sure if I should keep my TT. I hardly drives it. 130k USD residue, I can do a lot of things with that money. I drive my 11 C63 most of the time now. Due to the traffic environment here in Taipei. I gotta say the happy moments are very short. 90% of the time I am stuck in traffic and I am quite fed up with stick. The other 10% is pure FUN! Nothing beats a perfect shift hilarious. I know PDK will never have the throw in gear sensation. Anyway, I bought a C63 4 moths ago. The face lift is coming out this summer. ( A huge change actually ) MCT, interior changes, headlights, rears, etc. :mad::mad: I always want a dual clutch car. 997.2's upgrades are not that attractive just the PDK. Speaking of the exterior changes, 996, 997, 997.2. Only P car enthusiast can see the difference.

1. Keep the TT until the 991 turbo gets out in 2013/14
2. Trade in the TT for a 10 PDK 997 C4S used. 51k for it
3. If I change to C4S PDK. I loose 100hp right there. C4S will be slower than my dd C63. I also gotta pay 51k for it.
4. use the 51k to get a boxster s? always want an open top!

5. I actually likes E90 M3 DCT better than the C63. Handling feedback is a lot better, DCT is much more responsive than C63's auto. Again, the E90/92 M3 are going to change very soon. 2012/13. I bought the C63 because of the acceleration/beautiful exhaust note.

sorry, I brought this up all the time. I am just really confused what I should really do. Even a Turbo S looks so identical than a regular 997 TT. With that money I can buy myself a LP570/California

Sure M3 is going to change, but you should consider the new one will NOT have a V8 engine anymore!

It sounds like you don't even need another car. You aren't very passionate about the P-cars. Wait for something that you really want.

The C63 is stick and he wants a DCT type transmission for his DD I am fairly sure, that is the problem...

[DropItLow]

for a second there i thought he was talking about an audi tt: "tt versus m3 is no contest" then i saw PDK and myself

personally i'd drop to the boxter-s for the time being (you get to pocket some decent change) and sit on the 911 turbo. if you're not enjoying the car there is no sense holding all that extra cash when you can have it working elsewhere especially given your DD. save the money and then jump on the 991 when it comes out. sure you're dropping a whole lot of HP for a few years on the 'weekend' car but when you jump back in a TT later down the line you'll love it more

there's no stick AMG cars. I have a stick 997 turbo and a C63 auto.

[NYCMCBM3]

^must be nice.

[py0413]

pretty decent pair you have there. Why bother changing? I wouldn't get rid off that turbo if I were you. Probably a TT CAB PDK. That would probably be only thing I can think of.

Oh so its a regular auto and they are putting in a DCT like transmission this year... I see.

Maybe you should just lay off the red wine for a while and enjoy your current rides.

Have you tried E90 M3 DCT in Taipei traffic jam? Terrible!!!

[James T. Kirk]

^ How is DCT terrible in traffic? Or do you mean the traffic is terrible? LOL. Dangling modifiers are a bitch.

The M3 with DCT is the perfect balance for a daily driver that has to regularly deal with traffic, but it seems our friend really wants the Porsche.
Don't go with a Boxter, that'll be going backwards and you'll miss the power. Just wait for the new Porsche you want. The C63 is a perfectly fine DD.

In other words, keep the TT until the 991 turbo gets out in 2013/14, and open another bottle of wine and try to relax.

[creepy coupe]

Sounds like you need to take a look at how much you have got, rather than whet you don't have.

you can have all the cars in the world, and it will not solve your problems!

too many of us in the modern world are forced to rely on distractions or material objects to numb us to the deep dissatisfaction that nibbles away at us under the surface

[persian54]

Having a 6MT Porsche Turbo along with a C63 or M3 is the dream I'm heading towards...

I agree with you.
