Hello! I recently joined the Porsche family with the purchase of a 2005 Turbo "S". I will try to figure out how to post some pictures of her! I'm looking forward to learning more about these amazing cars!

All the best!

Thanks Dock! I love the Silver on your TT. That was my 1st choice, but couldnt find a low mileage Turbo "S". Timing is everything, so I was happy to get the Guards Red.

JG,
It's a bone stock, except for the wheels, 2005 Turbo "S", manual transmission. Full black leather interior with red stitching. Now the fun begins! I'm already looking into the ECU flash and lighter exhaust. I am not looking to go crazy with the HP, just another 75 - 100HP would be excellent. I am still trying to become a good driver and learn the limits of this amazing car. To be honest, the bone stock Turbo "S" is enough to keep me happy and learning how to push her to the limits will be a great journey! Any advice on "Stage 1" mod's would be helpful!

Thanks for the comment on the Polar Silver, but Guards Red is also a great choice!

Very nice. I like the whole look of the car. I may have to get a set of those wheels.

I was a little unsure of how the aftermarket (although Champion Motorsport is very respected in racing) wheels would feel in the highway, but I couldn't be happier with how they feel, sound and perform. No regrets on changing from the Turbo Twist.

Very clean and not overstated. You've made a great find.
