Thank Marin, I'm glad you had a similar experience. Its funny though, while I was writing this description I couldn't help but think that if a normal person were to drive the car before and after I bet they wouldn't have been able to tell a single difference.

Me: Did you notice the... what about the... oh never mind.
Normal Person: Yes, that's nice. Why is the key on the wrong side again?
Me: <sigh>

It's like the difference between a sharp and dull knife. Sure the dull one cuts just fine but once you've expernced a sharp one there's no going back.

The real praise came from the owner of SCARGO. He took my car out for a spin and came back raving about how tight and responsive it was. This says a lot coming from a guy who modifies em for a living. He's driven more than most of us ever will.

This community has done a great job vetting mods that really make the 993 all it should be. God knows I can't take the credit. The road was paved by those before me. I am just a greatfull recipient. I can on the other hand take credit for the evil misunderstood power plant but that's a story for another thread.

That's a good analogy, I agree.

What's the set of mods that you've done? If you've already explained it in another thread, feel free to point me to it.

Let me create a new thread or PM you. No sense polluting this one. I am long overdue to roll the car out. I am working on vids that should help to convey the performance of the car.
