Don't know how I overlooked this for so long. I've got a friend that is looking for a 996 Turbo, I'll have to pass this thread along to him.

Honestly Chuck, I think you've just had a very bad experience with yours, unfortunately It's modded as well, just luck of the draw I guess..

My turbo only had to have a wheel bearing replaced, plugs , a fuse and coolant line that broke... Minor stuff and was bullet proof so to speak, modded by FVD at stage 3 too...

My GT2, 5 years on and off the track, and is ROCK SOLID... Minor maintenance here and there, just had shift cables replaced, everything else sound * knock on wood*...

Bottom line is, before a purchase these cars must be checked thoroughly indeed.. BUT, they can check out and in 6 months started having weird/odd failures and or replacements.. You just never know
