Streets are pretty bad here in LA. My Cayman S with Ohlins beats me pretty good. Talk to a few people, saw a few cars and this Turbo S came up.

I really wanted a coupe but hey I can't pass up a low mileage Turbo S. Some of the guys know the previous owner so I know its been taken care of. So I bought a blvd cruiser with the soft top. Had the motor pulled to install a plenum and Y pipe for better breathing and to look over a few things. Guys told me that the turbo cars respond to this bolt on very well. A 40 hp gain isn't uncommon. I really wanted to change out a couple rubber hoses that are known to go bad and Porsche knew that so updated pipes were installed. while I'm in there, got larger intercoolers, and radators. Took it home during rush hour yesterday. Have not been able to drive it but a couple round up here in the hill with my kids. They like the top down so far. This thing is a rocket ship for sure. It should have anywhere between 560-580 hp.

Good one!
