I like them, I work on them often. If you get one let me know, I can probably round you up a couple turbos for free. You will just need to get them plumbed and tuned..

Haha, I heard they are interesting to drive. If you go into a corner hot, do NOT lift or you'll do a 180 so fast you won't know what hit you. Far better to just stay on the gas and ride the slide. |

Other than those just the normal used car things to look for. Try to find a car that has a good maintenance history. I would get a PPI if you can, it is worth the money in what it can save you. If you aren't too far from Houston I can do one for you for free, plus you can check out some cool cars inlcuding a gt2, gt3, gt3 rs, and a gt3 cup car. |

Thanks for the offer, i really appreciate it, I'm probably about 4-5 hours away. Not too bad of a drive. Is it a faux pas to out a turbo front and rear bumper cover and wing on a carerra? |

A GT2 wing is a bit much on a narrow-body 996, but a GT3 wing looks good, of course. I wouldn't add FI to an M96 engine. It wasn't designed for it and if it goes bang that's a very expensive day. The factory turbos have a different engine block. IMO if you get a 996 just enjoy it as it was made. If you've got to have boost, get a factory turbo. 996 turbos are a performance bargain on the market right now. |

As it stands, it is just as fast if not faster then the gto I had, and that was plenty fast. I'll check into that aero kit. |

I generally don't like the M96 engined cars, but they are a fantastic bargain right now.
Otherwise, I agree with what's been said. |

Ya, we have a lot of exotics. Ford Gt, a pair of twin turbo lamborhini gallardos, pair of muricalgos, 458 italia, ferrari FF, 430 Scuderia 16M edition, diablo, testarrossa, gt2, pair of gt3's, gt3 rs, gt3 cup car, handful of 911 varities, early 60's v12 jag, some bentleys and rolls, even a maybach, and around 20 or so different BMW M cars and a handful of AMGs. Plus all the normal commuter BMWs like I8's and i3's. There are also a few race cars here that we handle. Very busy shop and there aren't very many of us that work there. We just work our asses off and pull some long hours but it is a pretty kick ass place to work.
