as long as the Cayman is around...the TTS is basically useless...

it's not powerful enough to really warrant that kind of money, and furthermore, the Cayman is the REAL DEAL, whereas the TTS just seems like a generic 'hard' version of a MK2 which never really found an identity..

but you're right. i'll take an engine swap please

Yeah, who needs it with this around?

<center><img src="http://www.tpcracing.us/gallery/albums/album07/cayman_dyno_large.jpg"></center><p>Most likely my next ride. not really into dropping $$$$ into the TT at this point. It will not be sold, still love it too much :-) Next year or so gonna look for a nice used Cayman S and this kit costs $14,000 installed!!!!! Hopefully can be had for under $50,000 together. Sounds like a better deal to me.

or buy a used 997 turbo. total cost will be less that the cayman s and the kit.

plus, you get a nicer car.

I don't know, they feel really, really nice. And a Cayman S is a $70k car and almost a Porsche

the Cayman does feel good, but not another $15-20k better than the TTS. 0-60 in 4.9 is pretty good for the new TTS as well. projected is sub $50k w/ some great standard equipment. then spend the extra $500 for software and where does that leave the little beast?
