Default Wife's car arrives
Finally located a turbo cab with a tip for my wife worth buying. Really nice unmolested condition with 31,800 miles. Updated JVC Nav/audio and amp done very tastefully. She may embarrass me if I race her off the line with my supercharged 928

Great car. I just bought a 2004 turbo. Triple black. I have also lost the car to my wife already

Note insufficient pedal count and wrong shift lever! J/K. The PDK is almost certainly a better choice for getting the most out of the car.

Have fun!

The traction with the all wheel drive in the 911 turbo makes it almost impossible for a 928 (turbo or supercharged) to keep up.

I'd offer that it is more a case of the location of the engine; big time weight over the big fat rear tires means big traction.

Wow -looks right with the 997 wheels.
She is lucky to have that as a daily.
I moleste it: window tint, exhaust & lower it.
Done.
