handdoc is infamous around these parts
i am at almost 21k miles, no issues...everytime i get in this car i am reminded how lucky i am to have it

tubi exhaust, fabspeed tips, gmg sways and springs, bbs forged, and lots of additional leather upgrades for the interior...constantly making it more personal with no intentions of getting rid of it

I just turned 19k on mine and have been thinking about trading up to a turbo s with the pdk, but cannot justify the purchase because my car has been perfect and I still have cpo until dec 12. Decisions/Decisions!

My '07 TT is just about at 13K miles. On my way to auto-x session this weekeend I'll likely cross the threshold. I drive it as much as I can but still - not nearly enough. Its been nearly flawless with the exception of rear wheel bearing going at Lime Rock last summer . . .

Not many mods, just AWE exhaust and GMG sway bars. For now

The car does need to be driven more. I'll be glad to come out and help.

I think I'm going to pay you a visit to see that wicked 458 you have there.....
That thing must be insane
Awesome...about time you tuned it! I bet you are loving it.

Let me know when you want to come to NJ and check out the Fcar...it's pretty damn sweet.

Well, this is a tough call as frankly all of the mods I've done I think are equally important to my enjoyment of the car.

If you are talking about pure driving experience...the ECU flash and short shifter as well as the damptronics are just awesome and work very well together. The car has so much more life and such a better "feel".

The exhaust swap makes it sound like what my 4 year old son said the other day "an angry lion looking for a bone"...thought that was classic!

For looks...the techart kit and lowering the car...well...it just doesn't get better. The car looks so perfect. The wheels just set it off perfectly and going to 20s improved the ride and I actually beleive makes the car "feel" faster.

So, there's not one mod I wouldn't do again if I got a new 911. I love it.

And yes...I totally agree...I need to drive it more often! Much more often...

If you think that's bad...I barely put 500 miles per year on the cobra! Yeeesh...
