I'll snap some better photos when I get a chance. Can't believe I have a turbo Porsche though, not sure I deserve it! Better start saving now, mod wish list is already in the works.
Congrats! Beauty of a ride. As far as light clutch I had the same feeling going from a 05 997 C2S. My TT's clutch felt like air, think it might be hydrolic vs a non tt. You deserve it! My motto is "what r u waiting for?" you only live once. Enjoy in good health and you best by a V1 if you don't already got one.

Nice ride. That was probably a great feeling to see that car hauler pull up knowing your car was inside.

congrads man. that car looks great! i used to drive a c2s 1996 and the clutch was definitely stiffer than the TT (not that i have a TT, but i am in the market)

i'm next, if i can find the right one!

Thanks!

Just wanted to thank everyone for their comments. Loving the car and can't believe anyone could need more power (but I am going to find a way to get it!).

Steve- Yes! Let's hook up at Jason's. You're new baby blows doors on my new ride but hope we can enjoy planning "the next move" when we start modifying.

jbdmd- i bet you want me to play with your "mini"- queer! kidding, i'd love to take it for a spin. those things are fun. 997 tt is sick but i think you have your heart set on the other one so you might as well go for it. you can enjoy that for awhile and come back and pick up a slightly used 997tt. it'll seem cheap to you by then!

Steve- jbd says Evolution is courting you... what you got planned?
