I bought mine already done and sorted (for the most part)

planning on going e-85 in spring

I'm at 700 right now. Hoping to squeeze a little more juice before I do turbos

(heated and ventilated seats) but, it doesn't check every box.

I can't afford ANY car I want like some can, but this car is so docile it's just boring at times. Without beating a dead horse speaking about my last car, it was a car you had to drive if you know what I mean? High horsepower and rwd was too fun, but I wanted a car my wife and I could both enjoy... enter our low mileage 2011 997.2 TTS!

My only intent in posting up this thread was to get a general idea as to the major shortcomings of a 458 as far as costs and such that might hender ownership? I already know what I have with our Porsche. Reliability, trustworthiness, predictability, fairly obscure, and bonus that the wife LOVES the car... My problem is it's hard to keep my attention unless the car is raw, this car isn't. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your post.

Thank you, point WELL taken. You're so right. This car is pretty fast, just seems docile I guess. I think if I can get it where I want it I'll probably be happier with it. As silly as it sounds, my wife looooooves this car and if it keeps peace and harmony and mods free flowing I think I should keep it. Hahahaha! Thanks for your input.

I'm at 546awhp right now with a tune and Europipe. Car has run a 6.70 1/8th mile and 10 sec 1/4 mile so far in the summer heat. Just ran my first 1/2 mile event this past November and it ran 153mph. Definitely needs intercoolers!!!
