Well after many years of fun with the 993 (mainly polishing it) its now time for some different experiences. Namely scaring yourself half to death in 450BHP of Brute force

So here is the new beast - 996TT X50 with factory aerokit. And damn...its rapid on a whole new scale !!

As with anyone with OCD buftying a few things to do, but this is a daily driver so we will need to get over dirt being on the car.

I think Sean summed it up !! Right now I cant think of anything I would want to do to it. No doubt there will be some suggestions. A few mention BHP upgrades, but for the life of me I can't think why you would want to, its hyper quick as it is and Porsche stuck an extra 30BHP over standard on it at the factory :D

The dirt is just as scary as the acceleration. I think I might have to settle for clean all the time and not super shiny !

With that amount of power you’ll have a permanent coating of squashed flies to protect the paintwork with.

Cheaper than protective film and much more fun to fit!

Congratulations Clive, you’re going to have so much fun with that.

welcome to the dark side Clive - looks great !
take a look on Pistonheads - there is a long thread about modding a 996TT....

Nice one Clive :wink:

Now go and make friends with Andy & Matt @ Fearnsport so that you can get it fettled by people who really know & love Turbo's.

Just to be totally clear on this, the handbag is for the wife..not me! Usually an appeasement gift after huge Porsche expenditure.
