Not sure why some prefer 3.4 but the 3.6 has a stronger pull and feels faster. It also has some better features and upgrades over the 3.4.
Not trying to be a troll, just trying to make an interesting conversation base on facts and not opinions. Everything I've said after my statement is a fact not an opinion. We are all adults here and capable of having a civilize conversation without getting your panties in a bunch.
In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion, often for the troll's amusement.

Not a bad deal considering the low miles, overall condition, and the clean carfax, but the next owner must understand this is not a factory aero kit, but all aftermarket add-on with the exception of the side skirts. Unfortunately, the dealer is claiming this is the OEM factory aero kit option - XAA, but it's NOT. I've seen this over and over. The hood option tag would prove my point. The next owner also needs to consider replacing the IMS if no documentation exists. The 2001 are some of the first single row IMS cars and with a 17 year old low mileage car, I'm sure it has much degradation to the bearings.

All season kumhos on the front, summer sumitomos on the rear. For that poverty-understeer security blanket you sorely need!
" Even a newer turbo 911 will have trouble with this setup " haha okay, if that's how your shop justified all those thousands of dollars on parts!
I wouldn't give him $15k for that, and I"d expect every single thing to need gone through. What a shame.

Personal experience with cars that "have every part in the catalog" stuck on them. Tons of work being done and it doesn't even have matching (cheapest you can buy) tires? Huge red-flag.
There are key flaws in the listing- such as the mis-spelling of easily identifiable common parts, mis-identification of the type of tires, and egotistical statements. Best-case scenario, someone at some point in the car's life knew what they were doing, and the cost-cutting and cluelessness are only recent.

Not exactly the right car for this thread, but I've come to trust the opinions on the "996 forum" I'm looking for a replacement for my favorite '99 cabrio (totaled due to a blown motor) and came across this: https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/...388995833.html
I'm flying out Wed to take a look at it. Would you help me evaluate it?
Edit: It turns out that this was a scam. The guy snagged my deposit. Then, still had me fly to LA just to mess with me. There I was wandering around San Juan Capistrano with a boatload of cash... show up to the address listed on the title (I had seller e-mail me a copy)... no car for sale. A clean Carfax is great for a car... but doesn't guarantee that the owner is legit. Lucky I didn't get hit over the head and robbed... Lucky this wasn't the Craigslist killer.
