Arrow Great review of tuned 997 Turbo S



650 HP Tuned 997 Turbo S
Great car, great test. Not in LOVE with the looks, but the build in itself seems awesome. And that might be the best sounding turbo I've heard.

650 HP BBi Autosport Porsche 997 Turbo S - TUNED - YouTube

TUNED visits BBi Autosport in Huntington Beach, CA to drive their new Porsche 997 Turbo S. This unbelievable machine balances big power with low weight and suspension and brake upgrades to match. TUNED runs a quarter mile on a runway before heading into the canyons to see if BBi has really built a no-compromises ultimate street car for the track.

Awesome. I dont love the hood and vents mods, but this is something I could wrap my head around.

Nice work and +1 on the sound.

Any idea as to the cost of the engine, suspension, exhaust mods?

Pretty sweet!

thanks for posting -

I wonder what exhaust is on it. It must be an X-pipe style exhaust, the sound is pretty high pitched which is pretty hard to get on a turbo. This is pretty much the perfect turbo, at least engine,trans and chassi wise.

Enjoyed the review by Matt. Sounds like BBi knows how to treat the client and meet their needs. What a fun ride this must be!

Matt is a great reviewer, vid was entertaining to watch and it was fun getting a little insight into BBi. I like their mentality.
