Hi all...

Just traded an '09 Camry Hybrid in for a sweet '03 996. 58k miles, annual service and 60k mile service completed. Very tight.

18" wheel upgrade, Kenwood/JL addition, 12% 3M CS (5% brow), Blendmount/V1, Schnell short shift w/link, Green filter, Schnell Cold Air mod.

Not missing "mileage savings". Getting 24.7 city and 29.6 Hwy with many more smiles per mile than the Toyota could ever provide.

Last P-car was a '73 911T (in '91) I drove back from Cali. after working for a Porsche dealership in Hollywood for 11 months.

Its a fact. I'm not particularly light of foot either.

Put a Green filter in the airbox & did the Schnell Cold Air "upgrade".

Though some say its bogus save for sound production it worked for me.

Also using Redline. Every little bit helps.
