New here . . .
Hey Folks,
Just a quick note of hello, passing from the 996 Turbo forum to here. This is my third Porsche, 2002 C2 and a 2002 Turbo, and as of this weekend, a 2013 Turbo. Honestly, I was very happy with my 996, it has a rawness that I will likely miss and a 6 speed that I will definitely miss. I have been rowing gears for so many years, I can't even count them . . . Perfect downshifts and double clutching was my entertainment, I guess I will have to just be satisfied with perfect shifts . . . EVERY time.
I know that the complaints about the 996 interior are rampant and the 997.1 interiors are absolutely nicer, but I guess not compelling for me. I purposely don't look at cars, for fear of being dissatisfied with what I have . . . It happened this weekend, FOR SURE. I was never a huge contributor on the 996 side, but I did try to add some worthy content, I hope to do the same here. And to the cell phone pics, before I actually bought her, cheers!

I am really starting to like them as well, but I have to admit that the ride height is preventing me from really enjoying the wheels HaHa And as much as I hate it, I am really considering doing nothing to the ride height with Porsche's active suspension. Probably best not to mess with it?
After I work on my exhaust, I am thinking that will be my next sixspeed favorite search! KH
