like a fantasy for speculators!

i'm just gonna SC my 350 lbs lighter (even after SC) C2 cab instead so i have to thank the speculators for tying up all the early spots which saved me from buying something i ultimately didn't want.

hey darren.

lemme know what you end up doing.

i'm gonna SC, upgrade the brakes (again) to two piece floaters, and coilovers (again) from H&Rs to PSS9s, and lightweight flywheel/stronger clutch. it'll be a lot more fun than a tt cab absent reducing the weight by 350 and upping the power to 600.

no. you can twin turbo the 996 though but the problem with a C2 cab is you have to put a goofy spoiler on the back to faciliate all the new plumbing (intercoolers, etc). i'd figure the SC would weigh less, power up sooner (lower RPMs), and be more linear (no lag) than twin turbos as well.

EVO has a new supercharger that they will be marketing for 996s any day now. I think that it would be much more cost effective than an aftermarket turbo. I beleive it is designed put out approximately 400 HP.

With only 1200 coming into the US, I doubt you can find one to order.

Silver with Black

I have one of the first ones coming to Atlanta. If anyone is interested, they can pay my $5k deposit and take the order. It is already in the states. Some of the build is CD changer, Crest in head rest, full leather, supple leather seats. I just got a new TT and will hold this until the 997's come out. Please free to email at
