Saw New 996 Turbo Cab
Guys,
Spotted the new 996 Turbo Cab in Palo Alto last night. I did not know it was already shipping. I did not have a camera with me or I would have snapped a few pic's.
It looked very nice in person. Decent lines -- all as seen in the recent issue of Excellence.
Sorry I cannot offer more details -- other than the fact that dealers must be taking delivery.

Thanks. Have been lurking for some time, but not much to add.
I had a spot to buy a GT3 in LA, but took a pass. Just too busy right now to mess with P-cars. Love 'em, but not enough time to indulge right now.
I enjoy seeing alot of the guys cars here -- some of which are just spectacular. I also recognize some names (Konstantin) of some old 951 owners.
My last P-car was a 1988 944 Turbo S with a modified 3.0 liter turbo motor. Loved the power (450HP to the rear wheels). I miss that car.
Not to start a war here, but anyone doing some 996 TT vs. GT3 comparisons? They are obviously totally different set-ups. Just starting to gather info again.
;-)
Thanks!

There is a silver (Polar?) one with a black top parked in our garage at work (in Orinda) with Carlsen paper plates. Showed up yesterday-very nice. Belong to anyone here?

996TT - GT3 discussed "ad nauseum" on this board to take a quote from Oak. In short they are different strokes for different folks. :-)
