35,000 miles n loving it

i just hit 35,000 miles on the turbo and im loving it.....

boost boost boost baybee.....


been braking inthe new brakes and i must say thanks arling n tom for the help on the brakes... love the brembos... the 4pot fronts w/ 15 in rotors are badass as is the 4 pot rear with 14in rotors.. excellent man car brakes damn good..

the pedal response is more precise..

i still havent done any real hard braking yet.. i guess im still afraid .. or soemthing...

I bet the 24 inch rotors in the back really slow things down, what size wheels do you have?

It's too hard to look at it in the morning and not drive it - it gets snows for the winter and driven daily!!! It holds the two kids in the back - and who said it wasn't a family car - just fast family fun!!!

Re: 35,000 miles n loving it

What do you mean? These cars are not long lasting? If that's the case, I'll just get rid of mine.

I think not! It's more like people are afraid of putting mileage in these cars and not getting the resale they wanted. Is it true? Can someone verify this please? I only have 20K in my '03 since new just because I have several vehicles I used as a daily driver and not so much the Turbo.

I guess the question is "How long will the car last if driven modest and occasionally hard but not track style or racing?"

How many miles have anyone seen at the most? And how is the car performing till this day?

Pierre from Switzerland reached 200.000 km (125.000 mi) earlier this year. I´m guessing he´s at about 230.000 right now. And that car is being driven hard (Swiss mountain passes in snow blizzards anyone?).

That's what I thought. If they made these cars to be short lived then Porsche will be in the poor house, don't you agree?
