It's beautiful. And like it's been stated, the rear wiper makes it look like it belongs on the German Autobahn.

Everything you need is here. The depth of data is amazing. As are the people.

CONGRATS!! And welcome fellow Lobster Fork Wheel Brother!!

Now all you need is to add H&R Springs to lower the SUV height.
Simple/inexpensive and better handling and looks!!
Enjoy your new toy!!

OK I know the 911 will out-corner the subie but which car is faster in a drag race?

Do the H&R's really improve handling?

I was always under the impression that lowering springs always affect handling in a negative way

A good friend had one and I drove it many times. The Subie Sti is a fun car with nice turbo torque. Very easy to modify to 400+hp too, but if the STI is stock with 310 hp then the 911 3.8 355 hp and lighter weight will still take the win, but it would be close!

Hey Alex, Congrats and welcome to the club. I was a JDM car fan for many years before getting bitten by the Porsche bug. I never looked back after that. You have officially taken the red pill and will never look at cars the same again. Enjoy in good health!!

+1 on @groovzilla's comment ^

@fastb4ck lowering springs (Eibachs or H&Rs) should we a required mod on all 997s. The greatly improve handling and give the 997 the absolutely perfect stance. Just need 10-12mm spacers in the front and 15mm in the rear.

@Alex Wink welcome!!! Car looks great.
