Hi all,

I was just wondering if any of you gents have owned/have intimate knowledge of the Porsche 996 Turbo? I am particularly interested in what it is like living with one, especially as a daily driver.

Thanks!
Ian

Try a c4s too.

All the 996s looks wise just don't do it for me. Only driven a gt3 so cant help further

I looked at them aswell since I sold my ZMC, better on fuel and for some reason cheaper insurance! 0-60 will kill almost anything aswell with a remap lol
As above though I dont like the front end but each to their own and all that lark.

I do know what you mean but in Turbo guise it does make it look particularly menacing!

Better on fuel? In the places i have looked it appears slightly less. Did you try some insurance quotes?

It is the massive all weather performance that really appeals and since I now have a little lad I would like something that i can use at the weekends for all 3 of us rather than my good ladys 118d!

Just thoughts for now though!
