I owned both a 997.1 cab and a 997.1 coupe. I personally felt the cab was the far better car. I liked the coupe, but I loved the cab.

I've found the RE-11 to be an excellent performance tire - if I were to buy a new set of tires, I'd probably stick with the RE-11s.

Darin Fister did the modification on my stock mufflers and it sounds excellent. There really is no better bang for the buck than a properly done Gundo.
