It could make a great magazine story. "I Bought a 911 for less than ten grand and drove it to (Portland)"

I don't understand why you can't drive it. Alignment?

He's had it close to a year and that title is still floating open? That could be fun when you show up at the DMV.

I'd have a go at that one... At $8,250.00 it's worth more in parts so what does it matter?

Congrats Mike! The aerokit really spices up the otherwise somewhat blah 996. Get a sport exhaust and enjoy, my favorite is the fister mod.

Fister D Mod - Size & pics please

I took similar pictures and my muffler cans to the local hot rod muffler shop, one hour and $60 later I had my favorite sounding 911 exhaust.

[Embraer]

looks like ill be going that route! I was thinking about just leaving this bone-stock....since the Ferrari is running challenge exhaust, and I rather liked the civility of this 911. but that fister mod sounds pretty darn good.

[porsche4life]

Cmon mike, you know you want to just run open headers on that beast! Make it louder than the Ferrari.

[Embraer]

lololol...I gotta play nice with my new neighbors

Me also, and it is close enough that if I loaded the trailer, and left right now, I could be back home with it by bedtime. Too bad it is a tip, and I am just not ready quite yet. Hopefully by fall , I will be pumpin' some wasser.
