Ha-ha! The similarities between us continue. As you remember the same thing sort-of happened with my car except most of the add-ons were known. I guess it's poetic justice in a way for all the mods you've done on past cars and then gotten rid of. For once you are the beneficiary and not the benefactor. I'm even more excited now to drive your car but I would LOVE to do a side-by-side with a stock 997 Turbo. As Martin suggested we need a local GTG and I'm sure one of the stock Turbos will appear.

It's good to have all those upgrades on the car, but I think you will get a lower resale value compare to a stock 997tt on your car especially if you are going to trade it in to a dealer in the future, most dealer will use the modification on the car excuse to lower the trade in value, so you should go to the owner or manager and ask for more discount on your car !

I can't even find a 997 Turbo to even take a look at around these parts much less get a deal like that.

It's hard to believe you didn't notice the exhaust w/ higher flow cats and extra 100hp during the original test drive or since you bought it.
Kind of odd, but more power to ya! Literally.
