I came from a 911 (996) and a M3 (e46) so I wanted something pretty close in speed. I'm almost there but the car is more fun IMO. I don't know how this car would feel with another 50hp or so. I don't know how well it will handle it in certain situations.
My fun is on backroads and a few track days. I'm very well set-up for it. Sure cars will be faster but I'm having a lot of fun.

Really a 996, what did you have exactly? I have an 997.2 Turbo and I havent done anything to it. I don't need too. 500.bhp is more than enough especially Sport Chrono+ which the Porsche peeps know on.tne turbo gives you 16 horsies and 30 more torques. Besides updating the air intakes, billet diverter valve to be proactive. And it sounds a lot better; but You have to be listening to it.

I was thinking about to update My intercoolers and leave it at that.
I remember in my youth seeing an 993 twin turbo, Arena Red, was the color I wanted but the Paint to Sample is around $8000. Just A silly price But their Amaranth color an "Spittinī - Image" to that color, so why spend $8k. When the current option is so close? That is about the difference in buying Ceramic Brakes, which you will observe about half the field switching over at track days to steal brakes. The thing is with Porsches is do not run "Traction Contfol" and PCCBs (that is short) for Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes - if you wander a Porsche Forum.
Oh that and Porsche has Mark Webber now including Patrick Long.
Well enough of me babbling.
