Default Ohhhh Boy.....
Since last week was the week to sell 993's, and this week seems to be the week to buy some artificial aspiration, I couldnt let you all down. Gotta hold up my end of the bargain (pun intended).

Its always been a life long dream to some day owning such a beast. I have owned turbo cars before as well as a handful of beauties and sweethearts along the way.

I have to ask myself -- is this it? Is this the opitome of driveable sports cars? I am not yet sure to be honest. I have only had this in my driveway for a mere couple of hours; one short drive around the block. But, on that short drive, this is where the title of this thread came to my mind once the hairdryers were awaken -- Ohhhhh boy....

Congrats Chris! It looks very menacing. Does it have cat and muffler bypass?

Exhaust? What exhaust?? They are AWE straight pipes (I think) bolted right to the turbo, and yes, its loud. They are coming off the first chance I get!! Shooting flames and all is cool, but not at the expense of a rather crappy sounding car, nonetheless screwed-up mixtures. Stock stuff is going back on the car, again, the first opportunity.

Should I try to smog it as it is, just for the hell of it? That would be entertaining
