Newbie on the forum.
Hi everyone, just got a new (to me) 996 Carrera 2. Pretty happy with performance so far. I have evolved from an Evolution 8, X and BMW 335 xi. Here are some pictures of my new baby.

I am getting older and needed a car that suits my needs. But if I need to blow some adrenaline, I still have my Ducati 848 to play with.

One more shot in gorgeous autumn weather.
 Honestly, I think the 996 feels much faster in a straight line than the evo's and the 335. And the sound at WOT is pure heaven. Would probably go to the tracks after winter to see which is faster. But the evo's got the upper hand on the twisties. Last edited by dr_r2r; 11-04-2009 at 10:23 PM. |

Welcome, nice foliage shots. I am liking the Carrera light 5-spoke rims more and more. I may have to buy some at some point!
PS--Your spoiler is stuck in the up position!
