    Update on my slew of mods

    Hey everyone,

    I don't dropped in to the TPC vs EVO thread I started. If not, here's a brief cause there's much more to tell now than the charger. If this were to be of any interest to you, I wanted to make it noted so you might look. I like hearing about stuff like this. Anyways, I've decided that... for me... I would like to try to personalize my car in a way of a GT2 kind of. In other words, bold exterior, RWD, and much power. Tomorrow, I take my car into Hendrick Porsche in Charlotte and leave her for a few weeks. By the way, the car started out as a Carrera S, Basalt Black Metallic, 6sp, full leather, PASM - Sport Chrono, Nav, 2 tone interior, and black S wheels. Anyways, back to where I was going... I have now ordered the following, which will arrive tomorrow through Tuesday. All is scheduled with the according shops (body, alignment, etc):
    Cargraphic Cup front bumper with vent (as GT3)
    Cargraphic carbon chin spoiler
    Cargraphic carbon mirrors
    Rinspeed Indy rear bumper with vents
    Rinspeed side skirts
    Rinspeed Carbon diffuser under/between exhausts
    Cargraphic GT2 style wing with RAM air and carbon uprights
    Fabspeed headers and exhaust
    EVO Supercharger
    Porsche short shift kit
    H&R Springs

    Car should be wild. I'm making my own badging... probably 3.8 S/C.

    Anyways, I'll post pics when I get it back, and along the way (they will send them to me).

    yall come back now... ya hear?
    Avus 20" Basalt Black AF-MO2 w/ polished lip. 4" on back.

    Re: Update on my slew of mods

    Sounds great, congratulations Hope it's fast and trouble-free. Full review and pics I hope.
    What do you expect for h.p.? How do you hope it will run against the 997tt?

    Re: Update on my slew of mods

    Great questions. I really don't know how it will run with the 997TT. Hopefully comparable... at least in the same realm. I really wanted RWD. My last car I had was a V8 Audi S4, and... I know there are many variations of AWD... but I just wanted a different experience this time. I'm supposed to have aound 430HP at the wheels. I dynoed it just before bringing it in, and it hit 308.2HP. So, as 308.2 is to the claimed 355 crank, then 430 is the same to X... with X coming out to 496 at the crank if my algebra is good. This is a ton. I do like the prospect of having the higher displacement engine. I gotta admit that I had some cold feet when I walked in here this morning (I'm at Hendrick Porsche now... they are doing all the work). I walk in and see 4 new 997TTs in the showroom. $145k (good options). My car stickered at $95k. I got $8k in wheels and tires, $15k in the charger and install, $20k or so in the body mods and labor, and then another $5k in the incedental stuff and shipping. So I'm up there. BUT... I'll have RWD. We'll see. Hopefully I won't regret it, you know? Next time I see this car it will be crazy. They will be sending me pics along the way... so I'll post those.

    Re: Update on my slew of mods

    Loving it already

    keep us updated, some evo supercharged 997'S on another board make 530-540 crank hp with a conservative 4.5-5psi of boost.

    when your car will be ready?

    Re: Update on my slew of mods

    All the cladding and batmobile stuff isn't my bag, but the last four mods light my fire big-time. Let us know how the performance works out.

    Re: Update on my slew of mods

    I've been down that road a few times with cars and once with a boat and all three times I ultimately regretted it!! Regrets either due to money, dependability, marketability, not knowing when to stop or mind change.

    Re: Update on my slew of mods

    Yeah. I'm aware of all that too. It's just something I think I should do now and get out of my system while I'm young and don't have any kids.

    Re: Update on my slew of mods

    I've posted some of the pics in another post that I started. Should have put them here. If you want, go checkem out.
