If it requires the blunt being put down - it ain’t worth doing.

I bought mine thinking they were fairly reliable (at least through the lense of a german car) but this forum makes me think my car is probably on the verge of exploding at 63k miles

makes the 2500$ coil repair on the CL65 I was cross shopping seem entirely reasonable.

Guys look it's the most reliable 911 as long as you don't rev past 3500, it's a WET SUMP
this forum is a joke full of posers who couldn't rub two pennies together lol

I'm gonna go take my older than a 996 Gixxer out for a rip. Probably do a burnout and a wheelie or two. Let me know when your 996 can handle similar abuse

I just picked up my 99 996. Zenith Blue, with the only option being the sunroof. No TC, no LSD, no OBC, no idea what wheels it came with as mine came on the aftermarket ones (old FK I believe, maybe). It's got a couple goodies added on including rear flares. It's gonna be a fun toy. Oh, it's a 10/98 build.
