yeah i am super stoked about it. i got all receipts for performance work and gemballa body work. all maintanence receipts and even the original window sticker ($130k). don't just get rid of the e55, find a tt first.

this was my good friends car and him and i have been discussing him passing it on to me for several months now. i was on the fence until the day of sale really since i really wanted to go 10s in the E55 this season, hence the fact that 185mm pulley went on a week before i sold the car

hehe, you should get rid of the RS4 and get the 996TT. We have one of world best Porsche tuning in the world here in Ohio. I'm saving for a 993TT, but probably end up with a 996TT or 997TT in the next year or two.

Oh yeah, to the OP, sick looking car. Only a true world class sport car like this can pull off the yellow color look.

Wow...Congrats bro!! I really dig VRAlexanders 996 TT with that Promotive Kit, I don't know where they're located, but it seems like they know how to build a 1000+ HP P Car. They have more than one on Youtube with that kind of power!

thx man. your 997tt looks great ! i always loved the wide *** of the turbo

i also have upgrades from FVD and a Cargraphic exhaust

question for you - have you driven a 997tt with oem short throw. i was thinking of getting 997ssk instead of my FVD ssk.

my car has the factory SSK and it's great. My 997S also had it. i've driven the non-SSK and there's no comparison.

Congrats! I'm sure Boost Logic, Protomotive or Vivid Racing will be on call in the next few weeks. BL, is a high profile Supra shop that offers a 760hp 911 TT package for 11g installed.... enjoy the car, there is no substitute...
