With a child seat, even!

I'm sure the kid loves it! My 15 month-old sure does! She gets a BIG smile when you strap her in the back of the 996 cabrio that you just don't see when you're sitting her into the child seat in mommy's Ford Edge.

 

Good eye, I have 2 car seats in the back. Recaro Vivo booster fits well for my 4 year old and a Graco for my 18 month old. Whenever we go out they always ask for the Porsche, car is a little bumpy and loud but they seem to love that

 

Congrats...enjoy your new toy

 

Congrats on your new toy/ride!

 

Hi Alex@Fabspeed, it is normal to have a gurgle/poping sound when I let off gas due to reduced back pressure? I have maxflow muffler and headers on my 996. It doesn't sound like backfire just a slight pop right as I let off gas but not as extreme as the flowmasters I had on my last mustang.

Thanks..

 

Yes that is normal and tells you the car is running happy. Anytime you have a much less restrictive exhaust, the left over unburned fuel will ignite and create some popping out of the exhaust when you lift off the gas.

 

Glad to hear that it's normal. I noticed that my idle is not as smooth as I want, does the exhaust do that as well? I am checking to see if I have any vacuum leaks as well, there are many intake connections with the supercharger that can potentially draw un-metered air.

 

The exhaust will cause the car to sound different at Idle but it wont cause it to run rougher. I would go through and check all the connections anyway to make sure everything is connected properly. Also check your MAF sensor, because that can cause the Idle to run irregular or rough.
thanks

 

I had an 02 Formula Firebird a few years back,installed a turbo pushing 8lbs of boost...and blew the motor What's the risk on these cars pushing 6lbs?
I recently purchased a 02 C2 (stock),and I have to tell you,got the itch for a supercharger)

 

From what I hear, 6PSI is plenty safe for 996 engines. Together with the ECU flash and charge cooling, the VF kit is quite reliable.

Performance wise all I can say is this car can get scary above 4k if you have too much fun.

Others can chime in...

 

These D2Forged wheels are the nicest wheels I've seen on any newer era Porsche.

I've been lurking the web and these forums for about a month now. I will be in the market for a 996TT and I'm already trying to factor the cost of these wheels into the cost of my future car.

 

The wheels I have are HRE 547R, they are 19x8.5" up front (235 wide) and 19x10.5 rear (295 wide). They are forged 3 piece and probably been discontinued now, at about $1300 a piece you definetely need to factor in the cost.

 

I would love a supercharged 996. Enjoy that car for me!

 

I have had my C4S coupe SCed for 7 years now, number 19 and the first C4S in the US done by Evomotorsports, 30k miles on the SC. It gets at least 28 mpg on the Hwy at 80 plus. I don't do much city driving here in Wy and have the car on a diet, it weighs 3340 at the truck scale. CF hood, Fiksi wheels, Odessy battery, GT2 body kit, lightweight flywheel. Maybe it is you trip computer off a little due to the MAF. I use the stock 996 post 2002 MAF. Will

 

hi just a question about these supercharged carreras... do they match the performance of a turbo in a sprint to 60??
