The ShowKing of NY's White 997TT - You Will Like!
3 Attachment(s)
Brooklyn's Pete is known as the ShowKing and his license plate "don't lie!" Coming from a crazy G35, Pete has stepped up his game and is outfitting this white Porsche 997 Turbo. Being a showstopper, you have to have limited edition parts. So Pete hooked up with Vivid Racing and equipped his ride with a GruppeM carbon fiber lip spoiler. He has also mounted up a set of 20" brushed HRE 944R wheels with Michelin tires. With some exhaust work, carbon fiber Werks One Y-Pipe and Cold Air Intake, the ShowKing tuned his 997 Turbo with the Vivid Racing. If only I had the recording of the phone call during the test drive, it would have made a priceless YouTube video. The reaction went like this, "Holy S$%T, this thing is F&%#ing Fast!"
Vivid Racing now offers its own tuning at www.vrtuned.com. Read our FAQ, see applications, and order. We are no longer affiliated with or sell the other brand of tuning. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1391400936 https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1391400936 https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1391400936 |
Love it. Doesnt get any better than that
|
a stunner. fantastic wheels
|
It's a beautiful car.
But who is Brooklyn's Pete? |
Nicely done!!!
|
I believe the wheels are 794r's.
|
gorgeous car
|
Whoa. I wasn't diggin' those HRE's before, but the whole white, Techart thing you got going on there looks incredible! Nice work!
|
I can attest to the whole test drive. The car is a night and day difference.
|
Thanks a lot guys for the compliments.. I really appreciate it. And thanks again Dan, for the tech support. -Showking
|
FYI the car has a GruppeM front lip spoiler. The side skirts are TechArt.
|
Rear diffuser and roof spoiler is also TechArt. Looking good Pete.

How are those 20" holding up on the BQE?

Nice looking TT though!:D..... |
Balling...
|
Indeed if you can afford the ride, you can afford the replacements. I'd love to go to 20" but I go through some rough terrain, including cobblestone streets in Brooklyn Heights (where those shots were taken) and I'm certainly not as liquid as Brooklyn Pete. Just my "entry level" mentality come through. My bad. Very cool ride.
|
Go with the 19" HRE Monoblocks. They withstand the rough roads of NY and fit OEM tires.
|
Love it! Very tastefull:-) Nice photography as well
|
Pete needs to post up a pic of his G35 that gave him the name ShowKing :) This 997TT is just getting started!
|
Beautiful car, MORE PICS PLEASE!
|
Thank God I have had no problems with the wheels so far.. My kidneys however, hate me for it. lol Every car I owned thus far has been slammed to the floor on big wheels so I kinda grew up avoiding potholes and curbs. Believe it or not, I am actually very happy with the way the car rides now on these wheels with the Eibachs. It rode horrible after the drop on the stockers though. As far as being low... The Speedart lip I had was way too low for NYC, even for me.. but the Gruppe M lip is perfect. I definitely don't plan on replacing any rims, but I haven't to this point so I guess I'm playing the odds. lol. I'll post some more pics tonight. Thanks again guys. -Showking
P.S. Even if you have no plans to do motor work GET THE SOFTRONIC TUNE!!! You won't be sorry!! I'm not a "speed freak" or anything, but the power is incredible!! And the car behaves totally normal. |
Gorgeous car! First time I've seen the 944R's on a Turbo and they really look stunning.
|
Great looking car, white is the way to go on the 997 ;)
I pass by that street on the way to work everyday and often thought about taking some photos there, but Im too lazy. Awesome looking ride. |
Lotta nice white TT's in Kings County!
Raiyu - is that DUMBO - Washington and Water? |
It's a hectic place to park now with all the construction.. I know of some really nice cobblestones in the city I go to near the seaport. I'll get you the names. They were dead quiet at like 10 p.m. on a Saturday in the summer. Not bad for NYC.
|
Joralemon is cobblestone as you approach Furman but I would not recommend you drive down that street. It’s Jeep country. You can get some really nice shots at night (especially w/white paint) at the end of Old Fulton St. Do a long exposure night shot and you’ll get the skyline and streaks from the lights on the ships. Might wanna wait until after the Grimaldi’s crowd has thinned out.
|
No doubt.. I have pics of my old car over there... And Grimaldi's, That line was like 150 people strong the other day!! Unbelieveable. lol

Showking,
Did you get that car brand new or used? If it was used, was it purchased from Upstate New York? You 997 Turbo looks awesome. <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"> |
Nope.. Porsche Roslyn 3k miles. Thanks -Showking
|
The guy at the the dealer was actually on the hunt for a white one for me for a while. He hit me up when this one came in and said "Trust me, you want to come see this.".. He wasn't kidding, I went and left with a much thinner wallet. lol. Turned out to be good, though, I couldn't be happier with the car.
