For those of you asking what's been done to the car:
- TechArt style GT2 body kit
- HRE 19" wheels, Pilot Sports
- ECU flashed to 1 bar boost
- lowered

Comparison to the NA996 C2: The steering feels a bit heavier because of the AWD. The ride is surprisingly good considering that it has been lowered. Feels more solid than my Cab.

And h**y s**t it is fast. I've never driven anything like it before and I have had some fast cars. When boost comes on its like being fired from a catapult. The only problem is that you get up to ridiculous speeds so quickly and you still have all these gears to go and you want to keep going but if you get caught they are going to take your car away so you have so slow down again.

Yes, the Turbo is the natural progression from the NA996. Everything you love about your car now plus a rocket under the hood.
