Cool. You should come out to Cars and Coffee on Sunday, assuming the weather cooperates. I'm usually the only 996 Turbo at these events.

I didnt weigh the audio stuff but my guess is maybe 10-15 lbs lighter in total. The heaviest piece was the factory bose sub box.

Some recent shots of my baby:







The car is almost at 40k miles now and I'm going to replace the oil, air filter, spark plugs, coil packs, and MAF as a good tune up. Hopefully that will cure the studdering under heavy boost.

Hi there,

What are your exact wheel widths and tire sizes front and rear? Are you AWD?
