well.. i test drove 2 both 4 door and coupe version and just think it is pretty practical for street use and it is something new and still look decent.. and also the price 335 is about what the 996 tt worth now so i can just trade that in without paying anything and drive a brand new car which was what i;m trying to do... I still have my 911 c2 which has been park and collect dust for almost 2 years if I sold the TT that give me more motivation to drive that one again so its not like I'm leaving the porsche world

No videos. Videos don't show much anyways. The video you posted shows a 335 keeping up with a 996tt in traffic on a small street. I could do the same in my NSX.
I suggest you get behind the wheel of a 996tt. Coming from a 335, I think you'll be shocked by the power and handling. My NSX felt about as fast as an Integra after driving one.

To me it seems like the Porsche is just toying with the Bimmer. Watch the porsche slow down and get next to the BMW then floor it and leave the 3 series in the dust.

I was referring to handeling in my ealier post. Are you telling me that a Porshe 996TT with a 36/64 front to rear weight distribution will out handle a BMW with 50/50 weight distribution? Performance wise, yes the Porshe 996TTwill out pace some Bimmers. New M5/M6 can beat it though.(got a vid of that for you which I will post later) Handeling? Porshe has some problems against the likes of the E46 M3..335? to be determined. Heck, ever watch GT touring car Championship races ? The Porshe does not slice up the corners in the same manner. It suffers from oversteer. I've driven my cousin's Porshe 993T , but yet to drive a 996T. That will be an experience.. Just waiting for our buddy here to accept my offer.. Gs400 & cash for 996tt

Simple.. because with the year and the millege it has on the TT they are equal in value so I can either keep diving a 4 year old car or I can drive a brand new BMW with modern feature and I probably don't have to pay any out of pocket expanses.. 335i is not bad I drove it and I like it.. but now I have change my mind I want a Toyota Prius instead so may be I should change the title...
