This was my second 986. Owner a 997. Owned a 997 Carrera after the 986, but I missed the convertible, so I bought a 981. The 981 was a great car but not as raw/analog as the 986. Ten years later I was able to buy my old 986 back. I modified the car with new rims and tires,short shift and a Fabspeed max flo muffler. The Fabspeed makes the car sound the way a Porsche should sound.
