got my 993TT (archive)

Thanks for all your comments, but I decided on the Speed Yellow 993TT over the E39 M5, rather would wait for the next generation M5. I am pretty happy with the car, but decided to take it to the extreme. I've installed Autothority stageII, Powerhause polished intercooler, B&B exhaust & turbo header (about 500HP+), HRE 19" 547 3-piece wheel with the center painted black and the lip polished, Porsche sport springs. SO FREAKING mean looking. As soon as I know how to post pic, I will.

Last night, my friends in their M5 decided to follow me and film me breaking in my new toy. We left San Jose and headed down 152 Pacheco Pass. I could only get up to 147mph, didn't know there was this much traffic at 3am, but the rambling of the exhaust is intoxicating!!!

Once we got to the twisty hills of Pacheco Pass, my poor friends in the M5 couldn't keep up to film everything, awsome handling capability. Once we got down the hills, there was nothing but a loooong straight. We both slowed to about 15mph and we were curioused to see just how pass the 993TT would pull away from the M5. Now before the mod, it was easy, but not simple, now it was amazing. I gave him a head-start, about a 3 car length, then BAM it was like someone put the 993TT in a cannon and shot me pass the M5, his headlight was getting smaller and smaller. My passenger took a picture of us doing 196mph. Next thing we know, we in Bakersfield, almost to LA.

The only thing I don't like about my 993TT is that there's too much CHP out there, otherwise, its like I have a ride to hell!!!
