NY Porsche

Hi..

I just recently purchased a 996 TT and it's my first Pcar.

Can anyone recommend a tuner/shop in the NY/LI area for these cars?

Thanks..

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the fold.

Lots of options here on LI. What you're looking to do with your car, what's been in your garage previously, and how much you're looking to spend and other factors can influence your choice and our recommendations.

Tell us a bit more. Tip or manual? X50? Any prior tuning or upgrades on the car? Stock exhaust?

Also - this being your first Porsche, it might be a good idea to get some DE in. These way-back rear-engine cars are different animals when pushed. Best upgrade you can ever make is to what's in the driver's seat.

Good luck with it!

Hi..

Blk/Blk bone stock 2002TT 6 speed with 36K miles on the clock.

While I'm very happy with the car, down the road I may want to tune it (flash/exhaust).

Thanks!

Keeping it simple is a good plan. Rarely adhered to, but hey, if you can do it? More power to ya. No pun intended.

Being that you're already very happy with the car, my candid advice is to enjoy the car as she sits for few months, maybe through the summer and beyond. Once you get a better feel, you might change your mind and want more than just a tune and exhaust, or perhaps even decide that what you've got is good enough for these abominable Long Island roads.

In the meantime, stick around here, maybe meet a few of us, and a lot will come to you by osmosis.

Have fun!

I agree. My husband is "practicing" on my base cab before his charged Pcar arrives. Enjoy in good health!
