A day with Bucky Lasek and his 996TT

Ten X Games Medals. Highest score in vert history. Family man. AWE Tuning 996TT Intercoolers.

AWE Tuning spent the day with our bud Bucky. Check out the photoshoot in the AWE Tuning Gallery. And as far as the intercoolers that he loves? Capable of handling well over 700hp and has cores 37% larger than stock (422 cubic inches vs 308 cubic inches) which results in improved intakes temperatures and drop pressure resistance. Extreme. Check ‘em out here.

Not me,, well sort of. Alright, that is clearly ambivalent.
Okay well, that cat is out of the bag.

The 997 lost its fluidity. It became abrupt, more sculpted.
The 996 is more artful and pure unadulterated sex!

Of course the 997 is mean and moving with the trends. It had to happen.
The 996 is cast in stone. A work of art. Forever to boggle the mind like a goddess on a summer day with a flowing slightly see through dress. It captivates you and never leaves you.

Thanks, Sunir. I really do love the marque as a whole,,, but my love affair with the 911 goes way back. And some of the variants,, hit the soul in such a perfect way. The 996 was one of those.

Which previous set? I have HRE R40's for my slicks that I use for the track which are racier looking.

Thanks, I love the roof mod myself. It's all about the weight loss! The car feels so nimble and quick on the track. I still have another 100 lbs. to loose in other places.

Bang For the Buck! I'm not one that needs the newest greatest thing. I'm creating a cheap daily driver that's a track monster as well without breaking the bank. I have kids to feed .
