cheers for replys

pmsl @all the budding PF traffic wardens i put the sign there so i can ignore it if i want...plus i drive a porch so that makes it ok to ignore aswell

and yes a good 500bhp cossie will see it off for the first couple of miles anyway till i pass you with your bonnet up with smoke belching from it

Kev rather unfair to compare it with a Cossie the newest of which are around 13years old. Total different class of car in every department & the price tells you that.
Best get over too the Porkers Forum, im on their sometimes as they frequent events like Vmax & Terminal Velocity. No Cossie bullshit or back-biting from those guys.
Its a nice car & very practical, but wont you miss the shit & crap of the Cossie scene surely you will, best of luck Kev, like me you always put your car on the line.

i picked up some info re: porsche turbos

only designed to hold max rpm and max load for 3 mins, after that its hit or miss whether it expires.

Taking that into account thats 3 mins at 180 mph, thats quite a bit lol.

Porsche 911s are really good looking cars but they really shouldnt work, I hear they are rewarding to drive and to that end I WANT ONE!!!

I fancy a 993 style though with the round head lights, sweet!

Rod i still have my 3door sitting here with a 500bhp engine in it.....although its looking dodgy for it as i can see another breaking coming up, the more i drive this porker the more i realise i wont be wanting to use the cossie again...so time for the chop for it

done around 300 miles with the porsche now...one word to decribe it...AWESOME! it just does everything perfectly

Very nice porsche
You have the best porsche of 996 range the gt2
Now tune it.
The 996 turbo is the gt car and the gt2 and gt3 are the hardcore track cars.
Ford cosworths are mostly rallycars not trackcars from the factory.
