Wow Martin, you definitely picked a winner. I love the setup, and i love the mod's you want to do, we think a like, coincidence?

Anyway congrats and goodluck with the turbo, i drove mine all yesterday and it kept getting better and fasteer as i was driving, its amazing.

Yes, they are. The wheels are very similar to the Champion RG5B.

I think you may be my younger twin brother... Yeah man, it was a blast driving from So Cal back up to Vegas Sunday afternoon. I had a few friendly little runs on the 15 freeway with an SL55 AMG, a BMW 750IL, and an modded EVO.

Too late...I already got a V1, bought the CF piece around the radio/ac/vent controls, and picked up a used MA Shaw GT2 front bumper....someone grab my wallet quick...

Well, both have that "crazy push you back in your seat" speed and acceleration. However, the 996tt seems to handle a lot better with the AWD and the wider tires in the back....very little breaking loose. The Supra was also a beast of a car as I got it up to 425rwhp but wasn't quite as fun to drive as the 996tt. The Supra is a little more roomy on the inside, but the 996tt has a more refined interior layout.

Thanks for the comparo. Sounds like you are experiencing what I love about the 911, it's poise and unflappable character. Nothing quite like it when tackling quick S-bends in the local canyons... It just remains so controlled.

I just love how the car throws itself into a corner and pulls so hard when exiting. This thread makes me sad...3 more days and i reunite with my baby.
