im not understanding, which car my 997 or the E55 i sold? 997 is a flat 6 with 480hp and 457lbs of torque, 3.6 liter with no turbo lag, unlike the older 996 which suffered from it, its a real beast.

I haven't come across the new Z06 just yet but there are a few in my neighborhood that stay garaged quiet often, its the only car that i think will give me a real good run, my buddy's father has a Ford GT but he is to much of a girl to run my 997 the way i would like him to.

Yeah, 997. That's what I said: "997 What"? LOL. There are 8 different 997's - just wanted to be sure which one you had. Obviously you have the TT. Can you please post some pics or tell me what color/interior/options you have? I'm waiting for my TT and would like to see/hear about yours. Where did you get it? must have gotten lucky and found one sitting on a lot.

BTW, there is still turbo lag with the VTG turbo. Not as much as 996 but its' still there.

NOT YOU AGAIN. Dude, I'll believe that Kate Beckinsale is waiting for me in my bedroom with a gallon jug of Astroglide before I believe anything that comes out of your mouth. You called me out and got OWNED like slavery, why do you keep posting here? Two weeks and you've sold your BS E55 and gotten a 997TT, for which there is a waiting list longer than King Kong's *******? YOU CAN'T EVEN GET YOUR SIG RIGHT! It's a 997, not a 993.

There is still lag but it builds much quicker and more smoothly. Its not like it hits you all at once, it just builds very quickly. I miss that car...

Take a look at this thread..

Those magazine numbers are not worth the paper they are printed on. I believe the magazines said that an E55 runs the 1/4 mile in the mid 12s when there are a number of people on this board who have accomplished high 11s.

His audacity is just amazing. Guys who've actually had the experience of meeting this tool, does he look like this? Because this is totally the mental picture I get of NOEZWAYOUTOFASALVAGETITLE:

Obviously its not easy to talk **** on the internet because you absolutely blow at it. Get the friggin gabbagool out of your mouth and stop using WOP terms.

Wait a minute, you're the one who STARTED this by talking ****, and now you're belittling me for it?

This is what happens every time you type a word on MBworld, ESPECIALLY when I'm involved:

yes, hear that. he's good man, had e60/m5 that bmusa bought back given enumerate issues. anyway, he is humble as he thought my e55/renn-1 (~560 hp/605 tq crank) would give his stock 997TT a good run. not so sure. would like to run, just to see. guess may give him a good run for a bit up to 120 (while he is stock, of course). went to sharwerks today online....seems like they build some beasts there. thanks, L8APEX.
