I think you have that backwards, please allow me to correct that...its the 996TT that has the hideous non-round headlights that reduce the wheel HP & TQ by 100 each and increase the turbos backpressure by minimum of 16.3% each...

I HOPE IT SELLS FOR 1 BILLION, by proxy mine and everyone else's on the board would be worth a couple million easy.

You asked what my incentive was for knocking your price. Its just comedy to me, when I read about some guy asking nearly 75k for a 40k+ miles 996 without PCCB and a bunch of gaudy mods I can't help but ask that person.... Are you serious?

I'll second
Not sure what you find gaudy? Maybe the custom and very expensive HRE P43 wheels. Maybe you don't like the power coated white to match look? Most 996's don't have PCCB other than GT2/3/Turbo S unless it was a very high optioned car but for arguments sake I wouldn't use that as your sole reason to discredit my build.

Either way... I don't care what you think since you're negative and toxic.

Keep the builds comin!!!
Thanks RK! RUF wheels or a set of silver champions are going on this week to change up the look. Also in the works are a set of paint to match Acid Green PCCB calipers and 350MM rotors all the way around, and some other surprises!

I'll start a build thread!

I think your builds are incredible and I want you to get top dollar. The market will figure out the right price anyway.

Nothing gaudy at all on that car. It's gorgeous. GLWS!

Not at all to my taste but not overly gaudy and a nice car for the right buyer.

Al does nice cars, but the wheels gotta go. Ruf or rs184s would look great.

Everyone knows wheels are paintable/changeable but not everyone can see past that when looking at cars. Beautiful color combo and very clean looking on the surface, I'd imagine the engine and underside match. Best wishes for a high$

I emailed them about it a few days ago when it was first listed, they never responded.

Looks are all about taste, just search 996 headlight and you will find that out for yourself. As others have said, the wheels do not look good on the car. The painted center console and seat backs stick out like a sore thumb on the cinnamon interior. The front bumper looks like a cheap gt2 knock-off. Overall I think the car looks like something from an early F&F movie. If you like over the top then this is the car for you, I prefer a bit more sleek and reserved.

Regardless, the car is over-priced. That's not me being negative or toxic, its just a fact. If you have other samples or recent sales to back your figure please show them to me.

You seem to want to keep pointing out my post count and how novice I am. Let me remind you, I'm coming off of searching for a 996 x50 to buy for several months. I'd argue a new buyer is most in tune with market values.

Everything you've criticized is your own taste. To each is own. I'm done with you now. Nega-saurus

I started my post with
Looks are all about taste

Ending every post of yours with "I'm done with you now" and then responding again is a little silly no?
