I never understood this mentality. Granted there is weather you don't want to drive in like snow, sleet, etc. BUT rain is just water for gods sake. Who are you saving your car for? Drive it like you got a pair. GEEZ.

I am getting the AWE cats and GIAC done this week in addition to the stuff already done below - I will dyno my car and post when I get it back... The guys doing the install seem to think I should pretty close to 400hp after these mods.

Test drove a TT before jumping into the 997S. The TT has the "get rid of your wrinkles" acceleration, the 997S felt like a lighter and smaller car. Decided to go w/ the 997S.

I have 758 miles on it during my first month of ownership. I cannot imagine anything being more fun than the 997S; particularly if it is a cab.

They are meant to be driven hard, daily, in ALL weather, why save it for the next guy?
My C4S has 49k miles, driven daily and a ton of track time, no problems at all, best car I ever had. I will say that the 997S is a ***** on wheels at the track, they intentionally bottled up the exhaust to down tune it a bit. Can't have it outrunning a GT3 or TT(996) out of the box you know
