95k and going strong

I love my 996tt, i have owned it 6 years and drove the wheels off it and it just keeps going strong. Im gonna keep driving and see how many miles this thing will go as its my daily driver. Just had my 90k done, and the car has never had 1 problem, reminds me of my old NSX as far as reliability goes. Ill update when i hit the 100k mark in less than 2 months

One of the things I love most about these cars is they just keep on ticking!

Nice. That's once place where no car in this perfromace range really can stand up to scrutiny. These cars are totally overbuilt.

It's what makes a 911 a 911.

Thats great to hear. I want actually use this car instead of sitting in the garage like all my others have done. I've heard the 911 called the Honda of supercars (as far as reliability goes), I guess its true.

Congrats on the accomplishment? I see from your signature you have some modifications. Do you mind sharing with us what was done and at what mileage they were added?

Can you post specifically what you did have to replace and at what mileage? Clutch? Brakes rotors? I daily drive mine as well it's just hard to pick the Honda unless it's snowing!

Congrats on the milestone. I am at 39k+ miles and continue to love and enjoy my 01 tt. I have owned Honda's and Toyota's and other very reliable cars; my 01 ranks at the top of the reliability list.
