When I was young I use to have a huge poster of a silver turbo that has a huge whaletail. My 996 is silver, coincidence...NOT !

for performance driving its usually upto 5500 unless there's a worthy opponant then all bets r off and its redline for the first 3 gears then a heel toe and hard on the brakes for the corner and a friendly

....You should have made it down with us this last week, we went on a run where everyone was 90-110 to SD.... I did a couple of passes at 120-ish + but nothing compared to a couple of CGTs that made it out there.....

I so wished I could have. SD is a LONNNNNG ways away. I am really jonesing for a little road trip. Summer seems like it is finally here!! I was having my doubts. So one of these weekends I will have to make it down for a drive. I have been so busy with some remodeling in my home, there hasn't been much time for anything else. I'd like to get out on the water soon (wakeboard!!) too!! 120mph?? That's all???

I was just talking with a couple of my buds... about the HO2 sports.... I need to get on the blades again before I loose my water-legs....
Let me know when you're coming down..... Don't worry I know all about that home stuff..... This is part of the reason why I wasn't able to join in on my own group-buy on the SC kits.....
Take care,

Well back to the original thread...I also seem to have become slightly more aggressive since my EP S2 Q exhaust, PSS9 suspension, GIAC, GT3 seats...I just love it!! Fast, smooth with an intoxicating sound. I love the seats as well!!!

i got an agressive alignment done and pss9's installed (preference to oversteer) and i just love it. i have delusions of gradure in which i think i'm walter rohl or tommie makkenin.

Second, sadly enough, the spoiler. Knowing that the spoiler deploys at 75 sometimes "encourages" me to exceed that amount just to pop it up. Sad, I know. I am supposed to get my car back tomorrow with the fixed Carerra spoiler, so hopefully that bad habit will go away.
I love my SSK, but it doesn't really affect how I drive.

Why don't you put in the spoiler switch mod. It takes about 30-45 minutes to do.

Me too. I love the PSS9s and GT3 adjustable swaybars. I did have to back off from -2.5 camber to -2.0 camber when I went through a set of tires in 2,000 miles
