I am a convert from an aircooled 964 to a 996tt. I had a great but pricey experience with my 964, buying and driving back from florida, chasing gremlins, upgrading and developing a pretty cool car. Sold it, I didn't appreciate what I had. Family was getting bigger and could not fit four without whining so I picked up an 06 M5. What an engine!!, but I did not have the same connection with the car. Sold it and was not going back to a summer car. My wife sent me a article that Laurence Yap wrote where - despite his 993 ownership - he was describing his love of the 964. I knew that I had to have the car I always wanted. So I took that as purchase approval and shortly after I have a 72,000 km, midnight blue tt with gt2 master & slave, fabspeed exhaust that is otherwise stock and borderline immaculate. It is a low option car with sport seats and that's about it. What a blast to drive, quick, low, solid with better overall dynamics than the 964. The biggest adjustment is how quickly 2nd gear runs out of headroom, I had become accustomed to the 8,000+ limit of the m5. I am looking forward to learning more about the limits of the car and where it can be tweaked to suit my needs. I think this is a keeper!

Glad to see you back in a P-car!

What do you have in store for this one?

Please come out to thee "Class photo of 996 TT" .... let's have one asap...

Hi Mitch, hope the 964 is still keeping a smile on your face. its a good car as it sits but intercoolers, tune & unobtainium exhaust for now. perhaps more over the winter. I really want to get a few miles under the belt and figure out where to go. I have told the kids one at a time, back seats are for golf clubs!

Come by some time for a ride, we can swap....cars that is
