"In my opinion, while it may be faster, you don't buy a sports car with an automatic...."


I agree. But I have good friends with Tiptronics that swear by them . . . It just not seem sport. I'll stick with my manual have-to-shift-it transmission, even if it is slower.

So Doc, any progress on the car? I just added the loc diff to my order today, do you have one on your yellow beast?

Ok, look what showed up today: GT3 front bumper. Lip spoiler for it seems to be MIA, will have to figure out where that got shipped to, lol.

Notice the GT3 bumper uses the same turn signal lens as the standard 997. The TT's on the other hand use the seperate LED turn signals.

So what do you do? Well, you cut open a $400 set of brand new foglamp/turn signal assemblies, and start modifying.....we really want to keep the LED turn signals. It isn't finished yet, there is still a lot of filling and sanding to do on the inside, but you can get the idea....

Doc...that is sick to just rip her apart right outta the box.

Can't believe that.

Lol, I should probably make an updated post. The car now has full Brembo big brake kit all around, Dymag carbon fiber wheels, techart side skirts, rear diffuser, and rear window diffuser, larger intercoolers, programming, intake, and exhaust makinng about 600hp. H&R lowering springs, integrated XM radio.
