i think you start doing the engine compartment in red.....oil filler cap, etc OR just go buy some Rao's Marinara sauce and spill it all over the interior..

 

Oh now I think you are just jealous to be stuck with that Robo-cop looking 997 interior that you can't get any parts for. Don't fret, I'll have Eric custom make you a Turbo S emblem for the back of your new car to replace the lesser wording there and then you will be able to hang out on this board "legitimately".

 

Jimmy maybe powdercoat your centers black ?
I say time for a nose job too
Maybe RUF OR GT2?

 

LOLLLLLLLLL

I agree, RUF or GT2 nose for you, although its perfect as is!

 

naaah, i'd rather stick with a NEW generation porsche instead of a soon to be archive...btw, i could go out tomorrow and buy a 997 turbo but don't have any interest.... btw, are 997 turbo owners going to look upon you guys like 993 turbo owners...i would say so...judgement day will be at the dealers very soon.... think i am going to have some pasta with marinara sauce tonite..something sparked my interest in it today.

 

With respect to Dr. Bill, I'll take the turbo X50 please!

 

I've certainly had thoughts of changing the nose and or wheels multiple times over the years. The problem is that I really do like things the way they are and can't really justify change for change's sake (listening Dr. Bill?). As for 996 TT becoming ancient I doubt it and most 996 TT owners still find the sight of a 993 TT exciting, so I don't really think the emergence of the 997 TT will do all that much to lessen the impact of a nice 996 TT out on the road. What it will do though is move the 997 C4 (cab or coupe) into 4th or 5th place of modern all-wheel drive Porsches out on the road (are you seeing yourself Dr. Bill?).

 

I disagree and any 996 tt owner can't face the reality that their baby is soon to be replaced by the 997 turbo and make the 996 tt no longer top prize..... Look all over ebay, autotrader, etc.they can't give your relics away!....Time to leave this history channel and move unto living in the present..heading to 997 board.

 

I totally agree with you on that!!

 

If you are all about the latest and greatest why did you purchase a car that has a front end that dates back centuries? retro doesn't sound like your style doc
