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!!

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

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
