Good thing he doesn't have race pads on... Well we do have that other set admittedly not quite the same but pretty darn good anyways... I'll keep my eyes open:P

We work on so many 996/997s and have the 996TT to take care of that side of the fence but now we have an NA (for now lol) 996 to showcase some of the stuff we do in the Bay Area as well. Oh and it makes for a great track car too. It's already under 3000 pounds so we'll see where that takes us. I've always liked the 99s. No PSM, no E-gas and so forth and plus it's white....
Anyways, we've already slapped some Fikses on it that we have at the shop, some clear side markers, CF mirrors, the SSK and soon we'll get started on the more serious stuff such as the EVO SC, light weight flywheel, some coil overs blah blah blah.....
Speaking of the Bay Area I also wanted to mention what a nice experience I had at my usual haunt now at Carlsen Porsche. Every Porsche I ever buy is always from there guys (plus they have Brian to back you up in service). Gary Q over there (their head honcho in sales) is so non-pressure and down to Earth. I bought my 996TT from elsewhere and will never ever repeat that experience. The 997GT3 is also on order with him. If you're happy where you're at now then great and if not give those guys a try (ask for Gary).
