Good job.. First thing you need to do is loose all that extra weight (sub boxes and amps).

Not a new owner but I've gotten to drive a 996 GT2 with upgraded turbos and a bunch of other mods. WOW! wasn't a big fan of Porsche before but now I'm in love! Hope to be getting a GT2 some day.

Welcome and congrats. Great selection on your car. But that car and this forum is an expensive combination. Have fun and call Eric at bumperblugs to get you some matching bumperettes.

Thanks again for the kind words. Yeah, the wife is pretty awesome and knows exactly what a CGT is (even got me a remote control one for christmas a few years back). She's a good sport, and I've even gotten her to the point where she will point out when it shows 9:11 on the clock!

Yeah, the car truly is great, except I noticed the clutch start to slip at hight boost in 3-5th gear. I guess it's time, especially with the mods and 50k miles. I'll probably go for the upgraded porsche motorsports clutch so I don't have to do it again in two years.

Congrats. Sometimes I look back and consider if I made the right choice. I had an opportunity to purchase a certified 2003 Turbo S with 35K miles for $60K at a local P-car dealer, but instead chose to go for my C4S. I definitely happy with it, but there's always that "what if" feeling...

Let the mods begin!
