Default Still looking for a 996TT

Would appreciate advice on 2003 911 on ebay- per salesman at Luxury Motorcars in Sacramento, this car has been dynod to 730HP by Sharkwerks and now owner is selling because it will not pass visual smog cert in California. I am in Florida so I don't car about that. But is this a car that is streetable and is it a real deal? Can anyone recommend someone to do the PPI? I am told the last service record was 5/2014 for tires and oil- so a little worrisome that the oil is almost a year and a half old! I have a 928GT that I was at one point thinking of supercharging.........this would be a little step beyond...........and there is nothing said in the listing about brake upgrades.......I guess this car is just built with acceleration in mind!

Don't know about this car, but I would personally stay away from a car with that kind of HP. At that level, depending on the work, the car is potentially a ticking.... My .02

There is an awesome 03 TT in the Vehicles for sale section here on Rennlist with 29K miles. Red/Tan and amazing looking. Price just reduced to $50K. Sweet deal on an amazing car. I am not affiliated in any way to the deal.

RUF amongst others has customers driving around in Turbos with over 60k miles and at a higher power output, they are still going strong. 740 is a lot of power but nothing to worry about if the car is built properly.

They should be treated like any other car, stock or tuned, make sure everything is in good condition.

thats a big IF and above the TQ point at which they can bend stuff lol. id have a car at that power level very seriously looked at, rather than just looked at. oh wait.. i've said as much already..
