Buy a 3rd turbo.. At least you can still post and have fun with the previous 2.. The fact that you are ok with your health means something... For sure dont buy ever a Ferrari though..

Are you for real? Man your dealer and auto insurance company must LOVE you...

I suggest:



Just replace the back wheels with some HREs, lower it, and voila!

I hear very good things about this class. Most any production Porsche is a car that most of us "street" drivers can get into lots of trouble with, and we not not live to tell about it if things really get the wrong way.

So my suggestion is take the class and buy another Turbo. Nothing like learning from the pros.

TPIWWP. If this is true (which is highly unlikely), then you should stick with something like a Toyota Echo. Seriously.

Maybe go to a base 997 Carrera and get your butt to a Porsche driving school!

You have been lucky 2x already with a car that is obviously way out of your league in terms of your driving capacity. 3rd time you may not get so lucky and wind up killing someone else as well.

Be smart and learn how to drive these cars before you just get in and mash on the accelerator!

If you love the 997TT, then get another one. But go to an advanced driving school to learn how to harness all the power of the car... or get a Prius.
