thanx ceo!
wow so it actually gets quieter? that's just amazing!
did u get ur paws on the porche?

now, how about the 130g porche suv turbo version? it prolly doesn't corner as well as the coupe, and it totally defeats the meaning of a cool sports car like traditional porche, but it can haul all my friends' lil cousins!!!

LOL - I think if he had his choice he'd still be in the old house with the 997 in the driveway!

If all goes well I hope to move next year and have a 997 at some point and if all goes well for Hameed he will have the 997 too!

So is it a new Porsche or a new house for you ? Too bad the Porshe is not big enough for you to live in it (J/K)

Once you read stories from 996 owners about the 997, you will not want to get a 996. The 997 is so much better. Just wait a year or two for and get a slightly used one for cheaper.

The only problem I see with the 997 is the 2 inch tire-to-fender gap and keeping in mind that it has an active suspension ( I would not want to change the very capable suspension), how would you lower the car to get rid of the gap........................ Yes, I know it is just quibbling.

LOL.

You have a nice enough car Henry. Time to put that money towards a house. I think it will be a better investment in the long run.

You can link in multiple pictures with the img tag. You just can't attach more than one pic file to a post.
