won't "by" again? Oh well. Good luck with your next passion. I guess with the right suspension and maybe some Blizzaks....that Gorilla could really cruise on the ice.
Well, it's not for everyone. I hope you'll be happy going with a non-P car, since you prefer the handling of a
600 lb
gorrilla on a tricycle on ice. Me, I'd take the 300 lb one.
I can understand his frustration with the problems he had, but to complain about the car's handling is ridiculous. I’m going to go out on a limb and say this poseur never has been to a DE.
If anyone else is disappointed with their turbo and wants to give it away I will gladly take the 300lb gorilla off your hands. We don't get much ice in South Texas...
sold my tt back to the dealer. I dont think I will by a p again. they handle like a 300 pound gorilla on a tricycle on ice
I'm try to understand this...I think I got it!
We have a 911tt that must be the tricycle
We have ice that must be the relationship between the road and the 911tt (traction)
The owner must of been some fat ugly 300 pound gorilla
See being so big, he never fit in his seat (just squeezed in)
and thinking himself as a gorilla....
1) had no throttle control
2) he sold it back to a dealer, I think bottom of the barrel on the IQ chart
For almost 50 years of people claiming the 911 is one of the greatest sports cars EVER and for over 30 years, the 911 Turbo has been at the TOP of the 911/Porsche line. Someone FINALLY comes along and has the courage to speak out and tell the truth.
Oh, I have been waiting for this day. We have been saved!! The anti-Porsche Messiah has arrived. We can all sell these 300LB ice-skates that Porsche is trying to pass off as cars. How have they done it for so long??
Think im gonna go buy an M6!!! I'll prolly keep it till the anti-BMW messiah comes along!!
"They handle like a 300 lb gorilla on a tricycle on ice" or you drive one like a 5 lb monkey in a cowboy suit riding a dog like a pony?
I mean, inquiring minds want to know.

Ok ok, enough. Lets give the guy the benefit of the doubt. I mean, maybe he's gonna buy a Lambo or a Ferrari, or maybe even a Bugatti. If that's the case, I'd be saying the same thing about my trashy POS Porsche!!
So what is it OP'r, what kinda car you gonna replace your POS Porsche with, that will out-handle/out-perform it?
I hear the new Camry is great , especially for someone who obviously doesn't understand what a 911 ia all about! No doubt your dealer took care of you $ wise.
Lets give the guy a break like Todd said. We've had our fun.
I happen to have a small program that my company developed that reads between the lines in an html script. You simply input the text and it processes what was really meant by the author. I put the above text in and this is what was processed.
"I had the Porsche Twin Turbo for 2 days when I took it out to show off to my buddies - nearly flipped the thing at 130 on a clover leaf and soiled myself. Thank goodness the p-dealer had a 3 day money back guarantee because I'm too scared to go within 100 feet of the thing".
I think sillsix has forgotten to put the >>>>
after his line. He must have been kidding. I mean I p-car doesn't have to be your cup of tea, but how can you possibly say that the car doesn't handle well?? I don't think he (or many of us) are ever able to ride the P to it's limits....imagine driving a Turbo.
If you are afraid of engine problems, or any other maintenance problems I understand...it is one of the reasons I am not driving a Ferrari or Lambo. Most of us could probably buy one (finance/lease) but the maintenance would kill me.
Well he achieved one think with this thread....he united us

He bought a 6 year-old semi-exotic without any CPO. Now, I don't know if he took it to a qualified technician for a PPI but something about the story sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Also, he overpaid for the car.
The Name (Rhode Island)
This state was named by Dutch explorer Adrian Block. He named it "Roodt Eylandt" meaning "red island" in reference to the red clay that lined the shore. The name was later anglicized when the region came under British rule.

P.S. I do not think a 996 TT is characterized by �bad� handling, relatively speaking. This individual clearly is challenged and/or is withholding important relevant facts. I believe his intent was the response he received.
If you look at his other posts, he bought a low mileage car without a warranty then had expensive problems with it. He is blowing off some steam. Can't blame him for that, I guess. I would be pissed too.
