wow. stunning car! love the yellow...
i think there's some confusion in ur posts though. u keep mention ''Porsche'' made or install certain ''Porsche'' parts in ur car i think u mean certain ''dealer'' instead. i doubt Porsche would make a titanium exhaust, carbon fiber throttle body, ECU etc... that this board doesn't know about. i'm glad ur ''dealer'' will warranty the work but i'm pretty positive that the parts u got were not from Porsche factory as OEM parts. since u paid a lot of money for ur car & parts i think u deserve to know the truth. i hope the ''dealer'' didn't BS u by telling u what u told us. that, is not cool.

585hp i think is achievable if given a turbo S w/ k24...
w/ remapped ecu and exhaust + etc...
but... titanium exhaust? and carbon t.body... hm...
you sure it's porsche parts?
btw... a lot of cars (even excluding lambo, ferrari, carrera gt), and talking about only turbo... exceeds 170k value...lol...
w/ all the mods people put into their car... we're talking about 200+...
not to mention couple guy's lost count figures... haha

I'll join the BS truck.. other things don't add up.. such as $4800 to ship a car. Did you hire a private truck just for one car? And why would a dealer in CA do all those mods if you bought in NJ, there not going to go to bat for you if you just show up and say fix my car
From your other post...
$172,319 - 996tts
For those of you who can not add:
MSRP: $155,754
Tax/License: $11,765
Shipping from NJ to CA $4800
Total: $172,319 and I paid CASH.

Re: Porsche exhaust

The exhaust was manufactured and installed by Porsche. They said that the titanium quality problems in the past are no longer an issue.
Remember, I had a $171,000 car and drove it for 40 miles and then it stopped runing. A top Porsche executive came out to Newport Beach, CA for 3 days to observe the issue and did $40,000 in modifications and they were all Porsche racing modofocations (no after market products).
The car still looks totally stock and is fully covered by the warranty.

The infamous B*Sh*T story
Robertp.....The 6speed bull.....just Shat on your story!!! One for the ages!!
You might try another forum...maybe one with a congressman or ten in it. That story is sooo thick....And what is even more amazing is that a guy, spending an alleged 1 billion on a Turbo "S" can't even spell or conjugate. Damn!!! I definitely need a 1st grade refresher for even entertaining this thread!!!
