Don't you sometimes wish you could stick your hands into your screen, have them come out at the other end, and just strangle the isht out of someone?

Not me. Nope. Never.

probably they dynoed the car and realize it was All just sound. Anyway the only thing that matters on all these performance parts are numbers because those are black and white and never lie. Like the seller said they were used for less than 100 miles, I wonder 💭 why.

On a stock car, it's probably not worth anything. If you have increase engine flow via increased displacement, head work, or cam work, then this is a worthwhile upgrade.

Stick shift is a term that has been accepted as another way to refer to manual transmissions for decades now.

Most cars since about the mid 90's have moonroofs, not sunroof. Sunroof is an acceprable term to use for a moonroof, and vice versa.

There's a difference between a rim and a wheel. Wheel refer to the rim and tire together. Rim is just the rim itself.

yes, if you increase bore, do Hoffman big valves and cams yes. On a normal car with bolt ons, it’s just noise and I have been told by several 996 owners you loose torque down low.

You didn't challenge my points. You chose to attack me instead.

Very feminine.

I saw no need, nor did I have the interest to “challenge your points.”

no cheap storage available anywhere. Since the owner of the turbo can hold it for me, I’m not selling the coupe until I have the turbo in hand. Don’t want to miss the drives and Porsche Saturdays. I already pm him and two other guys from Cali have also shown some interest. Thanks

So here are a couple of rollers:

2006 Porsche 911 Carrera - $25,000 (La jolla): --- Runs great ........but may need an engine" $25K is a lot for a roller!
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/ws...476741413.html
"... runs great until we ran into a problem that needed a starter now it’s at the shop and the people are telling me that it might need an engine so for the price I’m selling it It’s pretty cool"

Porsche 2000 996 Carrera 4 Cabriolet- Seized Engine - $9,000 (Fallbrook) --- Engine blew twice!
https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/...476259348.html
"- The engine was rebuilt by LA Dismantlers in 2016 and it had 119,501 miles on it. I ended up paying about $12,000 for it. Supposedly the IMS bearing was fixed properly so it got lubricated and there would be no more problems.
- Engine blew again at 143,000 miles."
