Thinking of trading for a 996 turbo
Well, I love the my 2005 E55...but, in retrospect I think I probably should have gone with a 996 turbo. I have a full K2 kit with eisenmann exhaust and custom carbon fiber interior with only 5000 miles.
Anyone want to trade?

In any event, I'm interested in your CF interior and exhaust. Do you want to sell either?

Dunno I was thinking about 996TT for a while now, but after sitting in one, i can say this car just doesnt feel right, for the money I'm gonna go with Z06 
i suggest you take a look at it too.

I understand that the motor has WAAAAY more potential for mods. But with the Pcars the unibody is the key to success, no? Getting a Pcar to haul bells in a straight line is sort of a loss of potential to me. Heck, the S4 can put more power down than the rear drive. In tight twisties and short tracks, I'd still take a 997s, just because of the agility upgrades. The body is soooo much tighter with each new generation. I know that the TT and 4S models of the 996 had the stronger body than the 996 or S, but I am only comparing stock to stock. I don't have either, but I've put in MANY hours in a 993 Turbo, and a 996TT. I have also test driven the 997S with the intent of getting it or a Z06, and there is no comparison. Maybe it is the added weight of all wheel drive, I dunno. But the 997s feels like suck a go kart. It is an awesome change from the E55.
Either way. Pcars are awesome rides, and yes I do HATE the look on the 996 lights. I even hate the 997 front end. But, I LOVE it with the Aero package. That is the one I may get. To each his own.
