hey!
well i dont realy post often but i figured this is a must!
my dad well for those that dont know had a CLK and well was lookin for a new car so he looked and finally decided for this, and i think he made a good decision, the options were between the slk amg (not the new one) the old boxter s, and a M3. they r all good cars but i think this one stands out... dont u?

Old MB:

Its 2002 porsche carrera, yea yea its not a turbo...

Here is my custom shot, its a little different but o well, im trustfull

(the glare on the second pic is bad on the sticky...sry):

i didnt take many pictures but i will someday, or if someone want specific pics just ask and ill c what i can do, oh and btw TT, u think this could b the next PS "VIctim"

well thanks thats all for now, im happy, i havent driven it yet... but i will!

Very nice man. . . more pics of the interior

:shock: wow, I never thought I would hear somebody say this

Well, to each his own, I guess

BTW, nice car, I like the colour 8)

I only have a problem with the rear bumper :x

oscargarza88 · 10-16-2005, 05:19 PM

whats wrong with the back bumber?^^
i like it... i like it more than some of the old 911's...
but what i do know is that this car is better than in pics, in pics it looks "meh" but in person u apreciate the curves much more, i used to not care for the "base model 011" but its much better than i though (exterior wise)

Yablokov · 10-16-2005, 05:27 PM

nice car m8 ^.^

so are u gonna take it out for a spin? or has your pops not broken it in enough yet. ^.^

P.S. there isnt nothing wrong wif the back bumper. look beautifully engineered like most porcha.

Erez · 10-16-2005, 05:29 PM

congratulation man... very sweet ride.. i'm sure you'll both enjoy it..
(i'm a huge fan of 911.. and M3s.. and thats a hard choice.. i know..)
drive it carefully.. (to a nice place and take pics

)

TransAm · 10-16-2005, 06:43 PM

That's a lovely car. Who cares about the fact it's not a turbo?

Excellent choice IMHO! 8)

Hahah, quite shocking :shock: .

No seriously, I really like the looks of the 996. I think it is a very good evolutionary design of the 911 Series. I know a lot of Porsche fans don't like the odd ball look of the 996.

But look at the headlamps, great evolutionary design of the contemporary one piece with signaling lamps enclosed w/ the headlights. Interior wise it is the first 911 that has an updated interior look. Everything all the way up from the 993 still had that old 70's looking interior

.

Where as the new 997 went back to the classic headlights look and the interior has gotten way too busy w/ too many buttons. One thing I do like about the new 997s is the cut on the rear bumper. Especially the way they cut down on a slant from the rear taillights.

But the only problem now is that the 996 looks out of place among all the 911s

SilviaEvo · 10-16-2005, 10:30 PM

996 > 997 thats what i think of it! good choice man!!!

im not a "die hard" fan of porsche, i mean i love the cars but im not the kind that know every single thing in the car..., i wish i did though,
and i do like the overall design of the 996, it is a little out there in the common 911's as u said, but defenetly not in a bad way.
something ive noticed is that in top gear geremy always complains about the interior of american cars, and in the porshce its still "plastiky", so i dont know what all the fuzz is about bad american interior, im not defending them or something, but i expected more because of all what he sais i think.
and yea the 997 i agree has a better look to it, many of the reasons that u already said. but i dont mind at all, i would b as happy with a 997 as with this 996
and hey if it looks out of place thats not a bad thing... the slantnose looks out of place too and its not a bad thing.. its more "special" or "rare" if u will...

Ziploc · 10-16-2005, 10:42 PM

Well. My favourite porsche. Why? RWD! No fancy 4WD but RWD.

The porsche egdes out the M3 in the fact that its razor sharp and has the name that we all drool for.

Great choice!!

Yablokov · 10-16-2005, 10:52 PM

omg, i juz looked at the engine shot (the one were the sticky has the glare on it).

n all i have to say is. "that engine must be a Bitch to work on."

its sooo tightly wound. it looks like they built the entire car around the engine.
