I enjoy your enthusiasm and most of your threads leave me with the urge to take a spin. Mine is nowhere near the hp of yours but it manages to leave a smile on my face every time I get in. Thanks for sharing!

I mentioned that in another post I have owned this car since new so over 5 years and it has 36,000 miles. I would usually be bored of a car by now but I just love this thing. It has been totally modified to exactlly what I like and God willing I will never sell it!
Buddy, I have had my car about the same amount of time as you. This is my 6th 911 (2nd turbo - had a 993TT) and I feel the exact same way...I have 75,000 miles and I'm not bored yet, in fact I'm liking it more than ever with the 700 package, roll bar and GT3 seats...

John D and Buddy, Same here.

this is my (4th 911 turbo, and 7th overall 911 Porsche).

With this new power level, suspension, seats, etc,
the car does everything at a very high level which keeps me
interested. (I still have alot to learn about track driving!)

Glad to see you still hang around here. How have you been? Any mods to your GT2?

Yea, the MAF was dirty and a rear moton was blown out. At mid-ohio currently, there's quite a few 996tt's here. Me and a basically stock 996tt w/ r compounds were outrunning everything in the top non-instructor group. Pretty amazing what a highly skilled driver can make a stock 996tt do.
