Hey easy, I like girls. Anyways, I have to buff the paint on the back, it isnt as nice as the front, but I will post pics of the rear later.

Thanks, what is bigger is the back seat room over the 996, I can actually have someone behind me when driving.

Thanks. My friend had it for about 3 years and never worked on it, it has been a very dependable car and he drove the snot out of it. He only had the valves adjusted at one point.

It is sluggish around town not having the Variocam system, being it is low compression, and having slightly larger cams. It has a very heavy steering due to no power assist. Brakes are about the same as the 996. Bumps are way more pronounced than the 996 meaning the shock goes right through the car as if it has zero rubber to absorb shock anywhere. It is very bouncy too, like a VW Bug along with being noisy and really hearing the engine. Oh, and the famous oil smell once you hit boost. Power windows are really fast and the door lock solenoids sound like a jack hammer when you lock the doors. The confindence is not as high as I had in the 996 on cornering but it surprisingly been agile.

Oh, I will have a second car by then for sure, hopefully this week. I want Phil's S4 since he will only drive like 3000 miles in 5 years, awesome. I will some miles on that puppy.
