I would like the updated version, but I can't magically transfer all of my mods.

Also, I would need a 6-speed.

What's interesting is that the price is nearly identical to what I paid for my base Turbo in 2007.

how is your 997.1 manual faster than this??? You must have magic ginger shifting powers!!!

this beast is perfect, in a few years I will buy you

but in the meantime GLWS!!

All black rims, removal of the Guards on the gauges, and a third pedal would make this the PERFECT Turbo S!

Dana your Turbo puts down somewhere in the ballpark of 700HP? Am I right?

My Turbo is putting down 585 hp to the wheel.

The term "faster" wasn't probably the best choice of words. At this level, it is pretty hard to distinguish.

My car has a lot of hp but beyond that it is methanol injected which gives me a bit more boost and I am able to sustain that boost longer.

But the difference is not something any of us could really notice on the street. They would both feel fast as hell.

What I should have said is that the car Geoff has for sale is not appreciably faster than my car and they look almost exactly the same, so I don't see much chance of me moving on at this point.

You guys are a tough crowd!
