First let me say this is a great forum, extremely entertaining and I've been reading it regularly for some time, but have not had a lot of reasons to post.
I especially love the off topic and the 996TT forum.

Anyway, I've just sold my e46 m3 cab and I'm considering, among others, a 996TT, possibly x50 as my next daily driver. I'd like to experience one on a proper suspension (my m3 was lowered on eibachs--****ty I know but better then stock), in hardtop form and perhaps at least flashed if possible. I have driven my uncles 05 S cab but it is stock and a cab is quite a bit different then a coupe.

I'm also considering a 997 S cab, a Cayman or Boxster S or an M5. All different I know but #of seats is not really an issue though I wouldn’t mind having a back seat in the near future for my now 8 mo. old son. These are just the cars that appeal to me right now (a 997 gt3 notwithstanding).

So I'm in northern NJ 10 minutes north of the GWB. If anybody in the area might be able to take me for a spin I would really appreciate it. I'll meet you wherever/whenever.

My mother always told me to bring something to a party and I wanted to put up a quick picture of my 993, but I'm getting an error message even though the size is ok. It's a 97', black on black sport seats, red belts, carbon fiber dash, aluminum shift, ebrake and gauges and 19" RUF wheels, which are now being powerdercoated black with a polished outer. Bought with 14k miles now just over 25. Heres a link to a picture online:

Thanks in advance guys.

 

I am about an hour and forty five minutes south, right outside Philly. I am sure someone closer will step up, but if not, I have a 2002 non X50, but it has the GIAC flash, dv's, and short shifter.

Im assuming you are keeping your 993TT and getting another car if i read this right correct? If so, your making an awesome choice

Now, there are several cars on the market, modified and clean as hell for an amazing price. There are also TONS of members with modifed Porsche's/Turbo's in the Jersey/Tri State area.

Controlit (Mark) is actually selling his black 02 turbo with basically what you want done in Jersey, im sure you can get a ride in that.

Goodluck!

Kevin, I have an office just north of Cherry Hill that I'm at once a week or so, might work. Thanks

Thats the plan, the 993 isn't going anywhere, ever.
I've seen Marks car through 6speed and it is an awesome car, but I'm definatly going to be looking for silver. Two black 911 turbos is a bit much and a bit much to keep clean.
My ideal car would car be a silver on black, x50 with sport seats. A lot of cars out there have supple which is just not for me. I can see changing out the standard front seats for something ftermarket (although i would want recline for access to the back) but i don't know if its reasonable to go about switching out supple rears.

 

Ok cool, yea i was just telling you about a few cars or members that have suspension work and ecu done so you can get a feel for it, like you asked

Ok man goodluck, BTW your 993TT is so nice!

"silver on black, x50 with sport seats" exactly what I was I was looking for last year.

You have good taste

 

If you want to pay top dollar for a perfect example, check out the one RPM Sports Cars has. I have no affiliation with them, but it's where I would go if I was in the market for a perfect car.
