Hi folks, this is my first post on 6 Speedonline, you know the story...long time lurker, first time poster. I just wanted to share some pictures of this new (to me) 996 Turbo Cab.


No, I wasn't the one who spent $235K on this car (I wouldn't have been able to afford to spend that much on a car at this point in my life) . I bought this single owner 2004 Turbo Cab used with 17K miles recently. The original MSRP was $161 and the original owner put over $75K in mods and upgrades....and then decided to sell. That's where I come in to the picture.

I absolutely love this car. It has the EVO Stage III package as well as a small list of other modifications. Here is a list of the mods that I can remember:

Stage III Evo 600+ HP ugrade
Lightweight High Flow Exhaust - 100 Cell Cats
B&M Short Throw Shifter
GT2 Brembo Brake Upgrades
Lowered Suspension
Custom Rollbar/Strut
Sparco Aluminum Pedals
Champion Motorsports 19" RS97's --Custom Painted Black/Silver

Hardtop
Gemballa Carbon Fiber Hood
Gemballa Front Nose
Tech Art Rear Bumper
Tech Art Side Skirts
GT2 Rear Spoiler
Carbon Fiber intakes and mirrors
3M Clear Bra
K40 Calibre Front/Rear Radar and Laser Diffusers



Here are some pictures:




















This following picture is a little blurry.....sorry about that.


















Obviously, there is a lot of individual taste when it comes to appreciating cars. Therefore, I don't expect everyone to like the way this car was modified. However, if you do happen to like it, please +1 rep me.

Thanks,

Dan

 

Already a rep ***** on your first post?
It took me a few months . . .



Nice car, and welcome to 6Speed.

 

Your a beast!............. that car is sick.....I love how the hard top looks on there.

 

The turtle shell looks way better then I thought it would. Nice car.

 

Very nice car. Best of luck and enjoy.

 

Awesome car... congrats...

 

Different worlds, different tastes... In Europe no one would touch that car with a pole! Too modified and too flashy if you ask me.

Congrats on the buy though and welcome here.

 

Congrats on your purchase.

 

mmmm! Don't take this the wrong way as I love all Turbos, but this is one badly mixed up beast!

Not so keen on the Gemballa front end and the Gemballa hood is one of the worst looking mods ever. Techart rear end is okay, but it's not the best mod, the Techart front end is. No doubt it's a great car but the choosing of the bodykit is just all wrong!

 

Congrats on the purchase. Different tastes on the mods for sure, but I happen to like the front bumper cover, definite upgrade and better than the Tech Art to my eye. Looks more like a Carrera GT front, which is very nice design. Enjoy the ride!

Glad you like it, but I agree with Stevo, Gemballa front end, Techart side skirts, Techart rear, and who knows what wing. The car would flow much better if you either did all Techart or all Gemballa.

Just my observation, no disrespect meant - enjoy!

 

from some angles, it has shades of a Mustang... weird... congrats on getting a good deal.

Congrats and welcome to this board you are sure to get honest opinions. Enjoy her in good health.

We love the fact you share. In this school, You'll get +1 points for technical knowledge and a willingness to help.

 

very nice, although everone is going to have there own opinions, i think it is sweet. i just got a 04 TT Cab in polar silver with 3k on the clock......enjoy

 

thanks for the pics, glad you are a new member. the bling part is not my cup of tea unless it makes the car faster at the track. I'm sure yours is anyway but cant run it in many of our events cause it has no "real roof".
Still it is a "different" look!

I give out rep points to many on this board (and even sometimes them to me!) but it is IMHO reserved for a post which increases the general knowledge base of this car or raises the IQ of the forum! But there may be someone out there that gives it up just for asking!?

Welcome...........
