Nice! That interior is really cool. I don't know why guys would put badges on cars that signal the car is what its not. Nice job spotting the discount for something easily fixed.

Funny, I passed over the ad for it several times, figuring some boy racer had probably trashed the car. Then I found that it had been sold at Mecum in 2019 for $30,800. Turns out the owner had been a little tipsy at Mecum and loved the interior, so bought the car on a whim. Barely drove it and just wanted to get rid of it. I got an almost 50% discount off the auction price. :D

P Zeros on the front were original :o ....rears were from 2016.

Love the taco wing. My first 996 was a ‘99 C4 aero kit car, black on black. I sold it for $15,750, which allowed me to move on to the 996tt. But, I wish I had kept it along with the 996tt. IMHO, I think the Mk I aero kit cars are the best looking 996 variant. You do, indeed, have a keeper!

BTW, seeing as you are new here and may not remember who is who, just say “the unfunny one” when referring to me. Everybody will know who you mean.

Nice! I also have a debadged GT3 “tribute” - mine’s the one in the header image at the top of the page.

Welcome aboard.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.
