I felt the Strosek Style wingblade gave it a bit more of the 997tt look or perhaps widened it up even more.

You mean on the interior photo of my 996tt? No, that is the unit that came with the car with navigation etc...

Not sure how many, if any at all folks go from a gt3 to a turbo since it seems like the trend is to go the other direction but I thought I would put it out there. Pm me if interested.

Not me but any recent pics, IE, with the GT3 seats? those look like normal TT seats (I may be wrong). I also recommend simply selling the car....

With that said, if you have to choose between boost and 8K+ RPM, it's simple. Ask me if I miss my Turbo now that I am back in GT3......

HELL NAH!
And hence my new post!

Did not post those with GT3 seats (alcantra centers) or bar/harnesses because I would likely think to keep them if what ever gt3 did not have them. On the other hand if one had them and they were in decent condition, that would save me having to do the swap. Planned to sell/trade mine with the stock supple leather seats.

Your right I am sure of it. "Selling mine first, then hunting for the right 996 GT3". My problem is that I need it to be EASY PEEZY LEMON SQUEEZY as my kiddos like to say. I love my car, don't really want to sell it based on what I have done to it and how I know I have cared for it. If the right opportunity presented itself I would trade cars.

I just dumped $3,500 in a large clutch service and fluid flush so pretty much enjoying her at the time when not in my DD. My car has a switzer exhaust, with off road pipes (catless) and a lw flywheel so it is pretty raw and visceral when the power comes online which is 3k all the way to 7200 RPM's. Rev limiter was raised with the Protomotive tune.

I am actually toying with the idea of this trade. Can you email me some more info and pics? PMed
