Time has come to move on...

It comes as a bitter sweet moment that I must say goodbye to my 997.2 Turbo after a love affair when I bought the car back in Nov of 2013. Car has 11,000 miles and in pristine condition. It was quite humbling being able to reach my life long goal of owning one of the finest piece of machinery ever to be produced, and now the time has come as I go on to pursue other ventures. I'm parting out the following parts: BBI Race exhaust, Cobb Accessport with custom BBI tune, IPD plenum, IPD Y-pipe, 3-Bar BBI Pressure sensors (work with the tune). I am also parting out the wheels I just got: Fully Forged Monoblock NICHE Stuttgart in 19x12 and 19x8.5 wrapped in Michelin PSS 325/30/19 and 245/35/19 98% tread remaining.

Car will be returned 100% to stock and will soon be posted on Cars.com, Autotrader, Dupont Registry, and Ebay. Comes with 7 year 100,000 mile CPO warranty.

If you guys have any pointers on what I can do to sell this as quick as possible, it is much appreciated.

Thanks for all the helpful information over the years. I will def continue reading the boards for all the great information I have received over the last few years! I'll let you guys know once this thing is finally gone.


Pic above when I first picked her up from the dealership.

Here is how she looks below:

Looking at a McLaren 570S. In the process of buying a home as well so once the house settles I'll be at the McLaren dealership lurking

I believe they should fit as long as you trim the rear fender liner. I've seen guys even run 12.5" width on 996.

Is the hood wrapped or actual carbon? I might be interested in that if you are reverting back to white for the sale.

GLWS!

I had a 650S on my tail at the track the other weekend while in my 997.2 TTS. The McLaren was definitely faster than me through the tight turns. Maybe it was just the driver?

The 570S pics/specs look very interesting!

Yea - one of the main reasons I'm moving on from the TTS is it's crap handling. The rear end is like you have a trailer with an elephant on it.

I will def not miss that *** wiggle on turns.
