One of the regular places I take the Turbo is BJ's (same as Costco) and also to Home Depot. Last week I had an impulse buy on something 6 feet long and almost had to drive with it sticking out of the sunroof. These damn GT-3 seats are unforgiving but I managed to get it in between them. I wish I could have heard what the guys with the F-150s were saying about me.

It depends on the Italian rides. The only Italian car I've been in that I'd absolutely want to have is a twin turbo 360 Modena that my friend did up. That is an amazing car. Other then that German all the way. Unless ofcourse its like an Enzo...

Hubert's is the second that my friend did, the first one was just crazy. It was a yellow challenge car. They took it to a couple tracks and basically let everyone unload on it and beat the life out of it and it just kept going and going.

We're driving to Vegas actually, what better way to prove our cars insane performance and reliability?

I saw a guy by my house at Lowes string eight foot 2x4's to the roof of his Lotus, I wish I had my cell phone with me when I saw it or else I'd snap alot of pics.

Colin Chapman is probably spinning! Weight!!! and on the roof no-less!
Couldn't be any more anti-Lotus behavior if you tried

The guy didn't seem bothered by it, my father and I were laughing so hard.

Haha yea I remember seeing the yellow one, although it was backfiring like crazy on the dyno! I would drive to Vegas but that is a lot of damm mileage, don't get me wrong, I drive my damm cars a lot and hard, but rather out the mileage on having fun instead of cruising on a highway LOL!

Yeah the Challenge car was running really rich, its hard tuning Ferrari's with the stock computer since not many people tune them as it is. Eddie helped design and tune the challenge car.

And yeah it is a long drive, Eddie somehow made it from Cali to Florida to Jersey in just about four days in the Porsche. Although there was alot of "BuddyG" cruising in the so called empty states.

That can be argued but I whole heartedly agree with you. The 996TT will be number one in my heart and the second I can afford it I'm picking one up.

The moment my eyes wonder and the itching begins, I simply go for a drive in the TT and realize what a wonder car I already have, then reality sets in again. As is life...

I don't think the question should be is there a life after the 996TT/GT2, I think the question is, Why not make the 996TT/GT2 faster than light...
