One thing I've noticed in my 2+ years here is that lots of newbies act like these M96 cars are as valuable as the 47 or so Porsche 356 cars that were made in Gmünd. But history and the dreaded poor reputation of the motor have caused these cars to continue to depreciate. In fact, I've seen two 996 high mileage Carreras for $10,000 in the past week. It's obvious that the poor rep of the M96 motor has turned out to be a good thing for people that desire the 911 driving experience at the price of a used Honda. Still funny to see the new owners talk about how their car is going to be priceless one day. Yea, like in a 1000 years when it's discovered in a barn somewhere? ha!

Yea, I end up getting frustrated with the mobile app and just go use our desktop. Easier to type and navigate.
Does you app jump around at different positions in the thread? It does for me.... so frustrating.

Overall a great forum , I've learned that it's much more Concervative in terms of modifications than most car forums ( ls conversions aside)
a few times I've asked about a few things like fitting 997 turbo frount brakes for example and 5 guys jumped in saying it wasn't necessary and no none offered anything constructive . Suspension mods are equally Concervative .
But if fitting a cold air intake , cup holder or fabspeed exhaust there are hundreds of helpful posts .
