B3... I think I got JI's phone number somewhere.... Don't make me text him to double check. The phone has a Porsche model code after area code

I like that idea that this is more relaxed...just enjoy the cars, learn, help each other, have fun. I'll drive this one car tomorrow. However the guy with the first car I made an offer on, just emailed to say he is lowering his price. It is still a thousand more than I want to pay, and a thousand more than the car I'm seeing tomorrow. At the same time, between the 997S tiptronic and my Alfa ZF 8 speed, the manual transmissions still feel a little slow. I always felt the Porsche original solution of having up and down the gears on both sides of the wheel was the best solution. It allows you to drink your Cafe Latte with one hand and with you other hand, go up and down the gears while keeping your hand on the steering wheel...perfect for laps at the Ring.
The tip is white, needs a transmission mount, and has small dimples in the paint of the left rear fender and by the right door...I'll call it patina. Definitely not a beauty queen. But it also has had the AOS and the IMS Retrofit six years and 35k miles ago. The manual looks better inside and out, but I'll still be putting money into it just to give everything an up to date look...and it is the original IMS...could be good or bad...all a gamble.
Everybody talks about their cars as if they were in perfect condition and the best in the world. Tomorrow I'll know more. Having a friend go with me, he also went with me on a drive in the white car.
Good to see you found us John! Take a lot of pictures to share here on the forum. If you have the opportunity, I'd strongly recommend conducting a PPI of whatever one you're seriously looking at. All the best!

No it is really me. Anybody have thoughts on the use of the K&N air filter set ups like this one? I've heard its bad for the mass air flow system.

Jake Raby was going to produce a Dyno video comparing a Porsche stock air box with a K&N cold air intake, but decided against it because he didn't want to get tangled up in a lawsuit. But the Dyno showed absolutely NO power gains with the cold air intake. He said the best repeatable results have been from the slightly improved 997 air box which can be installed on a 996.
The stock air box is a vacuum that pulls cold air from the port in the deck lid. If you use an open design like shown in the picture, it will tend to pull a lot of the hot ambient air in the engine compartment. This is a negative for combustion.

Yeah I've read if you put one of those on your car you will need to put a plastic bag over the snorkel every time you wash the car.

Re: New Member Intros
I for one and looking forward to the detailed discourse on how the 996 is the new Alfa Giulia and/or how a 20 year old interior simply does not compare in quality to a 3 year old car
I would also like to start a pool for when one of us mods changes his tag to "Blow me asshole"

Welcome Johnny. We have high expectations on the effect you'll have on the forum
thing I said or did, was. I tried to contact the mods but to no avail. But you do bring up one of my favorite
remarks...wish I could remember what it was all about.
The Giulia is just great to drive. The same hp and better torque compared to the 996.1...and from just two
turboed liters. The brakes, the steering, the balance...blah blah blah...are just outstanding. But when everything is electronic
you get a great problem...when one thing goes, the car wants to shut everything down. If Alfa had put out a
coupe, I'd probably be in it. But they haven't, and if they do, it will be priced much much more than I am willing
to pay. And last but not least...the owners of the company...Fiat Chrysler...Mussolini meets Edsel Ford...I just don't have
faith in their future. So it is time for the Alfa to go.
Though the 996.1 is "modern" it is also very analog. And it goes more than fast enough for me. And all for the
price of a weekend on Jeffrey Epstein's island I can have a very nice and satisfying car.

We're far more tolerant of stuff here and so far our One Rule is all we've needed and no one has yet crossed it.
