New 996 Cab owner - engine heat
Hi,
After spending countless hours reviewing posts on the forum and itching to own my first porsche, I finally bought a 2003 cab a few days ago. I'll post some pics soon....still too excited with driving the car, and can't get the grin off my face!!

One thing I noticed tho' is that the car radiates a lot more heat when parked in my garage compared to my Z3 2.8....even after a slow 15 minute cruise. Is this normal?

Your temp guage should be right about in the middle between the "8" and "0" of the 180. Quite normal for the fan to also run for a while after you turn off the car.
