Default New 996 owner! Wanted to share a few pictuers!

I just picked up a 1999 Porsche 911 6 speed with a gt3 aero kit up from Texas a few days ago and drove it all the way back to Wisconsin. I must say, the car is amazing!!!! The handling, the braking, the entire feel of the car is unlike anything else I've ever driven!!! Its my first porsche and I'm loving the experience already. Its quite a different driving experience from my Toyota Supra Turbo that I own and is pretty much better in every category except the straight line where HP is a key factor.

As for modifications, this has quite a few. BBS 2 piece wheels with Pilot sport ps2 tires, 225 up front, 315's out back, H&R springs, Euro tails, side markers, and headlights, fabspeed headers running to Fabspeed muffler bypass pipes with 4.5" tips, fabspeed intake, ecu chip, gt3 console delete, silver faced gauges.

I'm looking to supercharge this car over the winter. I'm trying to find information on what parts I will need to do this and where I can buy them. If anybody knows any information on this, please let me know!

Let me know what you guys think!

Very nice, though I'd lose the GT3 badge.

Beautiful !! - though I am partial to black!!

Love the full Aero kit with rear wings too... 315's out back? you sure on that....? +1 for ditch the GT3 badge and lets get the headlights an amberectomy

Welcome to the show, enjoy !
There are a couple supercharged rides here... they will pop in and say hi, also you might want to check out 6speedonline as those guys tend to do more of that type of mods ?

looks amazingly clean, how many miles?

Are you going to drop in the SC yourself? You could then change the badge to: 911 SC!!!
