WAS UPGRADING your 996TT really worth the $$$$$?

That's cheap for all of that, compared to my $12k sc kit
Sounds like a great deal if from a reputable source. Car will be reliable but not covered by a warranty.
I also like the one step at a time. It also depends on what YOU want out of the car. I also agree, exhaust and flash my be enough for you, especially if you just drive the car on the street....how fast can ya go?
Wait till the warranty is up then take your time and enjoy each step!!
then take that car to the track and really see what it can do safely and legally

Will I be more inclined to speed?- dude you already have a lightening fast car think what it will be modded- Will I get more tickets- uhhmmm after around 160 mph I think you need a get out of jail card.
Well, I did it and I'm VERY happy. I actually paid $7600 which I think was a good deal. I deal with figures all day and forgot what it actually said on the estimate. I'm also glad I did it now rather than later. You only live once and I plan on keeping the car for a while. So at 550-560hp, it will be sufficient to keep me happy for a while. One thing is I hope I dont encounter one of you guys with even more HP & torque on your turbos. Thats where the upgrade itch comes into play which I want to avoid like the plague...lol
Anyways, its fantastic! I love the trembling of my ear drums and the landscape around me jittering when you hit the gas hard.
By the way, TheSpeed Gallery in Studio City CA did the job and Sam & Dan were fantastic. He called several times way after hours to check on me which was really nice. They even waited an hour after closing for me to get the car so I could enjoy it and sleep at night soundly ( I couldnt sleep last night waiting for the car to be ready).
