In August 2007 I saw her for the first time parked outside the Casino in Monte carlo - I stood there speechless for 1 hour just drooling. After that evening I had realized that I can't live without one and I need to have it.
It took me a few weeks to find this forum and after carefully reading everything - I understood that it is exactly what I need, except that I have a 600 HP 911 turbo and I wanted something significantly faster - so I understood thay only a TT would suit my needs
.
Then I found Shelby from Elite autos and my stunning white TT GT!
I have had the best buying experince one could ever get and Shelby is a true proffesional and 100% gret guy! The car is as new and looks and drives and smells just like out of the dealer.
My dream has come true and the car is 100% of what I expected from it.
I have picked it up on Wednesday and since then I have put 500 miles on it!
It is a Masterpiece! I am amazed by the quality of the engineering of the car and the way it drives. I did not expect it to be so comfortable and nice inside!
The public's reaction to the car is super positive - in the past 4 days I think I saw over 2000 people take photos of the car.
The way it drives is another story! It is tremednously hyper amazing! The steering is perfect and I feel like the car is part of me when I drive and go through curves.
The acceleration of the TT is out of this world - especially when you hit full boost in 3rd and 4th (still didn't switch to fifth - since 4th ends somewhere north of 180 mph). My Porsche seems like a diesel VW in comparison with the GT. The GT's acceleration also feels so smooth and only when you see 190 on the speedo and hit the brakes you realize how fast you were going.
Last night I went out for a drive and passed by the place where all the street racing action goes on in Moscow. 20 mins later I found myself on a 6 lane empty freeway with 2 722 SLR's, 1 CGT 1 Suzuki R1 (I think) and a 700 HP S 6.5biturbo. What can I say - I tried all of them from standstill and from 50 MPH to around 200 MPH. No one (including me) expected the GT to be THAT fast -
When I hit the brakes at about 190 MPH the CGT which had an early start was about 10 car lengths behind. The SLR at first went about 5 cars ahead ( I launched very smoothly) and then when he was going about 100MPH I went past him going about 140-150 MPH like he was standing.
The Biker said that he was starting to catch up with me around 3rd gear but then the turbos kicked in and I literrally jumped away from him.
The S 6.5 biturbo was just for fun
I did have major traction problems in 1-st and 2nd (a bit less when the PS2's heated up) so with a set of Hoosiers that is coming next week it should be fine. On Saturday we are negotiating to close the freeway, and I will go 0-200MPH against a LP640, Enzo and THE VEYRON (owned by the guy with the Merc S6.5 biturbo)
A few questions that I already have:
1.My car has the 1-2nd switch issue when cold, but I guess that is normal and I understand that a lot of the members have the same issue.
2. Sometimes the engine temp goes Up to 215 F - is that normal?
3. When hitting the rev limiter in 1-st and 2nd - there are flames about 10 inches long that shoot out of the exaust (scared the crap out of the biker that was driving behind) I believe that it is normal since teh wastegates drop the pressure and due to the poor air/ fuel ratio the excess gass burnes out. Is it normal?
In terms of mods :
I have decided to change the exaust - I think I will go with the Ford/Borla or Accufab systems - do I need to modify anything since I have the TT set up? or is it a bolt-on job?
I already have the FR tranny cooler that I will install this weekend.
I am thinking as well of replacing the Clutch - and get the Stillen one - are they available or it takes a long time to order/manufacture one?
P.S The forum is absolutely great and my dream would not have come true without it.
I am getting a professional photo shoot for a Russian Car mag on Wednesday and will post the promised In from of the Kremlin pics.
Thanks,
Alex
