New Toy......

The Rx7's got a new roommate....... Things seem to be slow in the CDN forum so I though I'd share my brothers new car. Its an 01' Turbo 6speed.

There is no comparison to driving our Turbo'd FBs. This car is just so quiet and smooth. The rx7 is raw, loud, and gives a totally different sensation. In the city the rx7 is more fun to drive spirited as this car is too fast to enjoy. Great highway cruiser though!

Best bang for your buck, 996TT's are awesome cars!

I've been working on Porsches for 4 years now, hands down you can't buy a better car for the money.

Neo,

Hopefully we will make it out to some meets this year... Speaking of a a beetle, my DD is an audi TT....now that's a beetle!!

2Fierce,
I haven't ever had the car totally ready for a meet in years, so anytime I have come out would have been with my brother and his Silver FB. Maybe this year!!



The 996tt does appear to be a great car, although working in the non-existant engine compartment will be terrible....espically when comming from an FB!

Very nice. I'm assuming the Turbo is stock.
