The WB, 800 HP MONSTER **BUILD THREAD**

Well since the SoFla weather is just about turning perfect, why not add a 2012 997.2TT to the WB stable (now 10 cars deep), and while we are at it lets make it a vert too. Perfect for those 70* nights and for some "fun" in Mexico of course.

Stay tuned as the monster is coming to life... lots of goodies goin on.

Never understood wanting to have a 230+ MPH high horsepower car with cloth over your head.

I understand whats your saying, I agree, but how often will you go 230 in it? probably short bursts to 180 ish, dont have that much room down here to "drive spirited"

Well for starters, you can buy a "pre-ownned" 997.1 for 75k or so. To buy a 997.2 you will be in the 90's used and 120k new, the preowned leaves more room for modding.

Also many of the 997.2's have been PDK cars, less and less are 6 speed. Ours is a 6 speed car.
