993 aircooled turbo just sold for over 3M
3 million is the new 300k

How else were you going to get a brand new, 0 mile, 993 Turbo?

Doesn’t really matter how because a new 911 turbo is 200k and it’s better in every way. Which makes this whole proposition insane.

So some rich person wanted the only 2018 993 Turbo.

Will probably sell at auction in a few years for $5MM.

Water cooled pos it’s not a real 911

Wait did you get a new job??

Also, with getting an exhaust, I absolutely love mine. Added bonus is that it covers up other, less desirable sounds that my car makes.

Polished up the ol resume, spoke with a recruiter, and found a few positions I started the application process for. We will see what happens.

Yeah man exhaust, cheapest way for me to go is muffler delete or smaller mufflers. Apparently it doesn't make the STIs ear bleedingly loud because of the turbo and resonator in the stock mid pipe, and since it's just mufflers no need to tune. Would sound like absolute ASS for the first minute or two on cold start but hey that's show biz, baby.

17s faster than 15s on lovely “nankang” Chinese shit tires

Be careful with this mod. While it will likely sound great on the outside the interior may turn into a drony mess. The “quiet” wrx performance exhaust rattled half the interior as is. It seems like you’re on edge when it comes to nvh/refinement with this car as is.

A nice quality unit is nice

I mean this car was loud and dumped on coilovers and bouncing all over the place. Driven by an azn chick. Fast. Sounded awesome. Fun stuff.

Did I just read an AZN CHICK!!!
Probably on cheapo coils like the raceland trash

Found an interesting vid, let the arguments begin

4K vehicle vs a 30k vehicle let arguments begin Hyundai should be a compared to a used 340i cpo.

The comparison matters more of cars of today and 20+ years ago with roughly the same hp rating and weight.

They are roughly the same speed and performance

Holy shit the want is real. Having driven and thoroughly enjoyed the best driving hatch back ever (megane) these baguette bangers really did it again.
Looks really great, only weighs 2400lbs 205s up front but with little weight doesn’t really matter.

Can’t believe a gayman weighs 700lbs more.
Too bad we don’t get this

[max225]

Even talks about short gearing specifically referencing the gayman and how it was too long. 2nd tops out at around 60 3rd at around 70

I like that thing, it's refinement sets it apart. Snips through gears like my DSG Gorf, but that's where the comparison ends. My garage could make space for both after a reasonable lottery win.

They don't sell em here or in canadia land so not sure how lottery winnings will help.

But to answer your question lottery winnings can remove any barriers. Evora will have to do for us common plebs.

Win lottery, move to France, put Alpine in your new garage. All it takes is a little luck.

Your venture into the stock market set me back more than a loaded JLU in the last month. Fking a. luck would be good right now.

You have half a million or so dollars in the market at 35 years old? That sounds pretty to me.
