My E55 is gone. Porsche is here :)

As some of you already know I sold my E55 two weeks ago right after installing the 185mm pulley. I really good friend of mine offered me to buy his 996tt at a price I could not resist for that car. Couple weeks later I started talking to a new forum member here who wanted to get into a modded E55, we worked out a deal and my car went to a good new home with all the upgrades.

2001 Porsche 911 Turbo with 17k original/documented miles
Speed Yellow
Black Leather Sport Seats
Carbon Fiber Interior
Reus 16.2 Audio System
K40 Radar/Laser Detector
Gemballa GT front bumper
Gemballa rear
Rare 19x8.5 and 19x11 3 Piece Strosek prototype wheels made by O.Z Racing

It also has some performance upgrades

powe rabilities are def awesome. i already have a power route picked out hehe. btw i've been meaning to send you a pm for a quick chat. my friend who sold this bad boy to me actually has an Alpine White E92 M3 that is bone stock. we ordered and ESS600 kit for it, Vorsteiner Titanium Exhaust, Iforgeds and RD Sport springs for it this week. i was going to ask you for other suggestions on it

E55 was faster especially with the 185mm pulley. However the Porsche has a tune on it that is pretty outdated. Tune was put on it 2003 with the other mods. Porsche is not much slower as of right now, it will be much much faster after a few grand go into it

No - but the shot was composed in such a way to make it seem like that


Overall I am very happy, also very happy to be driving a stick again (E55 was my first and only car in automatic). E55 and I had a great run, it is in good hands now. New owner texted me and told me he already took down some of the quickest cars in his area (Procharged Vette and 700whp Terminator). I am happy that I did not have to part it out like my last ride and that I still get to hear the excitement of the asswhooping stories the E55 puts on in Virginia
