Soon2Be, why don't you argue with me when you have real experiences you can draw from and a real pocketbook?

Until then, I have nothing to say to a Wannabe993TT.

While $8.33 per hp is pretty cheap, $5.55 per hp for Upsolute is cheaper.

And what does the "straighten the steering wheel" mod cost for the Cobra?

I don't know Hamman, seems like I have both experience w/ my HANDS and pocket book. Sounds to me like you are lacking one of them

All I'm saying is, the way you speak makes it sound like you are the only one in the "know". Which simply isn't the case.



wannabe993TT sounds good to me, I certainly do wanna have one, and will one day, whether soon or not. 993C2 w/ a 3.8L TT still haunts my dreams


Since you bash BMW's all the time, maybe it's time for a name change for yourself as well


We are all car guys here who share the same love and passion, it's when peoples heads swell up like yours that ruin all the fun.

From everything I've read about the car wilbur and protomotive put together it sounded like a real beast, I don't mean to take any credit away from it.

Example: I had a guy in a GT2 (grey)last weekend get on my **** on a 3 lane road (no other cars around) weeving back and forth trying to bait me to run him. (I'm in a E36 M3) He proceeds to blow by me and waits for me at the next light rev'n the engine (it sounded sweet). This was amusing to me so, I look over and laugh. That spurred him to rev even more. Light turns green and oh my we are door to door half way thru 3rd gear. He was'nt pulling away as fast as he thought he would! At the next light, my grin was bigger than before and instead of pulling up next to me, he pulled behind me and refused to make eye contact. (bruised ego?) Why would he waste his time on a BMW?

I would have never considered running a GT2 (in my Pcar yes)until this guy.

Oh by the way my e36 m3 has a turbo.
haha... nice story. way to go, pard'ner.

ok enough lurking in this thread...

sooo..... you took your car to Protomotive, told them how you wanted the power to come on, they programmed it, and you paid 'em? Isn't that what anyone who takes their car to a tuner does? Sorry but that doesn't make you a "tuner". If that's the case, well, I am one of the biggest tuners in North America!! Yay.

Every time I argue with you ******* the thread gets so many views.
I'm laughing. It's typical for an insecure person (such as yourself) to post such a thing on a forum, to make himself feel more important. Delusions of grandeur along with a false notion of self-worth commonly accompany this response. "Wow, the views on this thread are growing exponentially, it must be because of my wisdom and great contributions to it"...

wrong. more people are viewing the thread because they enjoy seeing you make a fool out of yourself and get bashed by everyone else.

Hammann, you always talk about what an awesome driver you are and how well you do the twisties, and how you can smoke almost anything in your old 7 series because you know how to drive.


So how about some pictures of the damage you did to the GT2 your first time at the track? Even better, wasn't it the FIRST LAP?

I am neither an ******* nor pompous. However, after listening to you spew on your "Porsche expertise" over the last couple of years is pathetic. I appreciate your "enthusiasm", but as they say, until you walk the walk, you can't talk the talk. I am appreciative in your expertise of auto detailing and read your very informative post regarding your detailing experience. However, seeing as you have a Sub and a fast pair of Hondas, everything you say is really second hand info that you have read.

Hamman7 is the funniest SOB on this whole board, without him, (and Don Relentless, who gets second place for funniest SOB, and honorable mentions going out to Sharky, DEETZ, allanlambo, Itzkrib and me, of course) this site would be boring...

What "porsche expertise" have I ever spewed? And I didn't call you an ******* nor pompous

The majority of stuff people sphew on this board is 2nd hand stuff they've read. There are always people talking about things they've never tried and only have experience through hear say.


But i'd really like to see what expertise, i've spewed . I've never claimed to be an expert on ANYTHING, because that's just not the case.


btw, I'm far from an expert when it comes to detailing, there is a lot I have to learn, I just like to share what I already know to help out others.
