Last time I spoke with Tom (T2), he still had the original clutch in the car.
At current 996Turbo prices, they simply are the world's most reliable supercar, without question.

LTC is correct - original clutch (I replaced two bearings and a rear main seal), original turbos, original tranny, etc etc etc. The cars are bullet proof!! T2 - continuing to knock on wood!!

I saw a 90k mile car on Ebay yesterday and was wondering if that was one of the higher/highest mileage 996TT....this is in a totally different league! Congrats!

I'm sure many factors contribute to the longevity...Why no turbo script on your speedo?
