    Sold my 997

    I sold my 997 last week as I wanted something a little different. I still have my Maserati when I need to turn up in style. Here is what I bought to replace my daily driver

    I've had mine in white with a 460 BHP upgrade too!

    Re: Sold my 997

    Surely that's going to have some HUGE turbos on it and with it a stupid amount of lag.

    I recall the TopGear rolling drag race of the 400bhp Evo 8 against a 1.6L Fiat Stello estate. The Fiat wins!!

    ui ui ui... why keeping the Maser and giving away the Porsche???

    Have fun with this rice box

    Re: Sold my 997

    Interesting swap!!!

    Looked at one of these myself, little bit too manic for me... Will be a lot of fun and will be able to embaress a hell of a lot more expensive machinery.

    Enjoy

    By the way, hope your having the Porsche brake upgrade as a sign of respect to the old girl you just dumped!!!!

    Re: Sold my 997

    Why didn't you sell your Maserati?

    Come back to Porsche!

    Greetings

    My wife prefers the Maserati and they are infinitely rarer!

    Having them added later in the year along with a new turbo to give 600 BHP!

    Re: Sold my 997

    I think the new Maz is nice - the Gran Turismo - went to the launch in London the other week. Not such good build quality as a P-Car though (apart from the leather which is cool). Much preferred Jodie Kidd to the car (ahem) - she's not stuck up at all and seems pretty smart which was a bit of a surprise, given her small screen persona anyway.

    Anyway, I guess you should get what you feel most comfortable with. I'm most comfortable in a 997S (well, more comfortable in a GT3!!).

    Have fun with it,

    SoS
