Traded MYISF for 997 4S
#61
1) It has the 997.1 body & Mezger motor (Porsche racing motor and bullet proof)
2) It has the 2009-2013 electronics (PCM)
It does not have the PDK transmission and is one of the last Turbos to be offered with the 6MT (which I have)...so IMHO I got the best of both worlds...I got the upgraded electronics but I got the Mezger engine...in 2010 The Turbo started using the DFI motor and they are still not sure what the tuning potential is or the strength of that motor...for instance with my car...the dealer offers what they call a conservative tune (cost $2,000) and my car will then have 530hp / 520Tq...that is more than the 2015 991 TT (not the Turbo S)...and they say my car can handle it all day long...

Oh and BTW it had been in the shop having the following mods done...and then the dealer showed it off this weekend at their Cars & Coffee (a couple of my old ISF buddies came out to check it out...nice reunion):
1) SACHS 2.5 racing clutch
2) Powder coated Turbo wheels (stock wheels are forged and light)
3) Added spacers (Porsche option if you want when you buy the car)
4) Cermaic coated exhaust tips and Turbo badge satin black
I think it all came out perfect! Here are a few shots from this weekend at the show!

Well it is funny you ask...the 2009 TT is kind of different model as follows:
1) It has the 997.1 body & Mezger motor (Porsche racing motor and bullet proof)
2) It has the 2009-2013 electronics (PCM)
It does not have the PDK transmission and is one of the last Turbos to be offered with the 6MT (which I have)...so IMHO I got the best of both worlds...I got the upgraded electronics but I got the Mezger engine...in 2010 The Turbo started using the DFI motor and they are still not sure what the tuning potential is or the strength of that motor...for instance with my car...the dealer offers what they call a conservative tune (cost $2,000) and my car will then have 530hp / 520Tq...that is more than the 2015 991 TT (not the Turbo S)...and they say my car can handle it all day long...

That is the direction i'm going next, I love the GTR tuning potential but there is something about a 997 TT

Thank you...
Thanks man and I hear you about lowering it but with the AWD things get a little sticky when you start lowering these...can be done but not sure it is the best thing for the performance of the AWD...this thing goes around corners (off ramps, etc...) like it is on rails and I do not want to do anything to change that!!!
Thanks...it sure is fun
The GTR is capabale of tuning as well. I hang with a few and like you said there is just somehting about a 9977 TT...it just looks meaner and faster to me even sitting still...but hey to each his own as the GTR is a fast car...

I am intrigued by you info about the mezger engine and updated electronics
Now I am split again..........

1) Porsche cut back on Turbo car production due to the 2008 economy in anticipation of poor sales.
2) They also did not sell many because the 2009 997.2 DFI motor was out but not in the Turbo...so people held off on buying Turbos in 2009 in anitcpation of the 2010 DFI model....thinking it would be better???
3) I think I have read that less than 1,200 of 2009 models were sold in the USA and around 65-70% of those were tiptronics...meaning that less than 400 wer 6MT. And I have one of them...LOL
Good Luck with your search as they are out there but there is nothing wrong with a GTS...they are very nice and usually come stock with more HP than the S models. A good place to look and learn is the Rennlist forums.

Well it goes a little further than that with the 2009 TT being rare as follows:
1) Porsche cut back on Turbo car production due to the 2008 economy in anticipation of poor sales.
2) They also did not sell many because the 2009 997.2 DFI motor was out but not in the Turbo...so people held off on buying Turbos in 2009 in anitcpation of the 2010 DFI model....thinking it would be better???

About six months ago I finally got my 2009 Cayenne GTS with manual tranny. Only 432 ever made with manual transmission worldwide during their three year production between 2008-10. I went with the upgraded PCM as well. After searching for over a year, I scored Carmina red Gts with black alcantara and only 31k miles on it , California car which ended up for short time in Washington state.
Had it delivered, puts a smile on my face as much as the ISF if not more with the stick.
And yes, I have been on the Rennlist forum for some time. Same user name :-)

Not again ...... LOL

Car is looking awesome!
Once you do the exhaust the car will come to life that is for sure! I know when I got my GTR I was shocked at how quiet it was but that is all turbo'd cars in general but once I free'd up the exhaust the car is a beast.
Have fun with the car I think my next car might be a new turbo s love the new lights

Some iteration of the 911 is absolutely the car I want next. It has been my dream car for over 20 years. Of course I'd love a Turbo S, but I think I'd be satisfied with a 4S for sure. I've "shopped" online for one off and on for years, but I just can't justify it to myself or my wife yet. You have such a beautiful car man, congrats!
