Dad's 2004 911 Turbo

[Tomerville]

All I can say is it is the most amazing car in the world. The break-in instructions say keep revs below 4200rpm, so naturally we have been to preserve the vehicle. Still, the thing has a thrust bar airplane, and seemingly infinite grip. It even arrived 2 weeks prior to estimated delivery. The only option is aluminum trim. All 2004 Turbo's come with the PCM, and 12 speaker Bose system (which is amazing). by the way, the radar/laser detector is a Valentine 1 which is outstanding.

very nice and good job getting the 6-speed I've seen too many with the Tiptronic shit on them.

Yeah, that wasn't even an option...Auto Turbos are disgusting, plus Porsche's 6-speed is like a dream.

Lucky Bastard..... :x

[Jabba]

Thats a nice car. Congrats to you and your dad 8)

[yg60m]

Very nice car. Have fun mate :wink:

[TT]

Congarts to your family and thanks for posting the custom shot right away :D

Now, do you think you could post high-res of the fron 3/4 and the back? :D

The only option is aluminum trim. All 2004 Turbo's come with the PCM, and 12 speaker Bose system (which is amazing). by the way, the radar/laser detector is a Valentine 1 which is outstanding.


Looks like you have a couple of other options already included - leather steering wheel, GPS NAV apart from aluminium trim.

Is it the X50 version (with 50 extra hp)?

[Tomerville]

The leather steering wheel and GPS are standard on the '04 Turbos (in the US at least). We didn't really consider the X50 pacakge because a friend told us the aded power was more or less unnoticeable since the gears are perfectly honed to the 415 horses. However we did seriously consider the PCCB Brake system...until we red the article in evo about their poor reliability in certain circumstances-an expensive mistake.

TT-I need to find a pic server which will host 1.3 meg shots. Thats why the last two are just red x's!

[TT]

Dude, if you want to post them THAT big (although a nice 1600x1200 will still be eaisly under 500 kb), check out the sticky in car gallery. One of the new websites posted allows up to 50 MB ;)

In case you are lazy as I am sometimes: http://www.terahertzcomputing.com/ should do, but well, 1.3 MB seems the size of the original picture :D not that I complain, but a good high-res (for the net), can be smaller than that :D)

Actually I am, but not when we go to the city...just on local roads. The clutch is a little wierd not becuase its grabby, but because you must be really gentle. It can get tough in stop and go traffic, but you just gotta relax and deal with it.

We have one, but its poor quality, so we are waiting to get a new digi camcorder.

amazing car, i never really cared to look , but does the turbo have a "safety seat" in the back? i know the GT2/3 don't, but what about the turbo?

and could you please show use a video of you or your dad driving the car sideways :D

[TT]

BTW, since you was to lazy to actually go in the sticky topic in car chat and find a place where to host the pics ;) I did it for you! The high-res are working now!

[Tomerville]

but does the turbo have a "safety seat" in the back? i know the GT2/3 don't, but what about the turbo?

Is the safety seat the same as a jump seat? It does have two jump seats in the rear...I can fit in them, but the head room is quite low so I must cock my head to the side.

TT-ahhh thanks :oops:

[sentra_dude]

Nice...I can't think of one single better way to spend ~$110K, fucking right on getting the 6spd :twisted:, great color too...now about those vids, hehe! :D

[TVR_Fan]

Let us know when you start driving if your dad lets you drive his car or not.

[blah]

lucky bastard.

[cho_888]

that is way sick, congradulations, have you got to drive it?

[samtek]

yeah, did i ever drove it, if you did tell us what you felt?! :wink:

[TT]

He already answered to the question, I guess you two didn't read below the first reply :roll:

[tkmodena]
