Finally bought a 02' 996 6spd turbo. I have wanted one ever since I had an old 930, when I sold that I got a viper gts instead of a 996 turbo...not sure why. Now I finally got one, drove it home 8 hours yesterday and it was great. The return trip included twisty canyon roads, wide open plains, hail, heavy rain, and temps between 95 degrees and 42 degrees! It was good to be able to test out everything and make sure it works.

Very nice...did you say BLACK...nice CF accents inside. Funny, I went from a '78 930 and an '81 SC cab to my current car....love it.

Congratulations and welcome Loving that interior. Now all you need to do is change the Side Markers. I assume the hail was small enough that it didn't cause any damage?

Thanks guys, yea lucky hail wasn't bad, no damage. Can't wait for a DE event now.

is your center console wrapped in alcantara? I have not seen that before

mdurbahn

Yes it is, it isn't factory though. Prior owner did the carbon fiber and alacantra wraps. Looks pretty close to factory though I think.
