Welcome, I will try to answer what I can as I am not in the Dallas car scene.
1) Not sure in Dallas
2) Vendors on the forum here are great, most will try to help get you anything you need or want quickly.
3) The engine is the same across the platform
4) There is base & touring, sport is a package which can be added to both base or touring. Sport package includes a BBK, LSD, rear spoiler and 19" wheels, Base v. touring is more "luxury" features: leather, power, heated seats, bluetooth, different radio, optional navigation
5) The automatic is very good, there is a full M mode which is manual mode where the driver has full control over shifting. If you plan to go for 700whp then I would recommend looking at a MT
6) Besides the TT kit you should look at: Oil cooler, exhaust, clutch, etc. Basically all the supporting mods first and then focus on the engine internals
7) If you are buying new, not much to look for other than what options you want and not over paying
8) Not sure, there is a Z club of Dallas I believe and a few people somewhat active on the forum here in Dallas.
I would call Sam@GTM and talk to him for a bit about what your plans are and what your goal is and he will help you get there.
