    Yes sir, c6 z06. I had a 997.1 but it was a base model :/ it was an amazing car but i just couldn't tame it on the track and my driving style wouldn't allow me to drive a Porsche. I'm hoping the 991 is more like a mid engined car to suit me or I'll have to skip this one for a cayman. But I'm not sold on this electric steering just yet!

    Very nice choices.
    I think the new 981 CaymanS is the best Porsche for the money, best looking too(ala CGT).
    A vehicle’s worth is not what you put into it, but what it put into you.

    Bi-LED headlights are being custom made, almost done I hope(they had to rob parts off the Osram assembly line for my black chrome units). Definitely looking forward to them!

    Also, I used some Counteract wheel balancing beads(required disassembling the wheels)....worked for about a week, smooth as silk from 55-65mph, until the wheels started seeping air over a few days. Back to the wheel guy, Hutchinson o-ring re-sealed(wasn't done when Counteract installed as thought the o-ring would still seal up ok), no wheel leaks now....but randomnly about 57mph the steering wheel wobble is back dammit!, although not as bad as before. Maybe some of the beads were lost in the wheel repair work, unsure....ugh, and I was so excited that the Counteract had fixed the shimmy. I may lower tire pressures and see if that helps as the leaking wheels were running lower tire pressures at the time they were leaking.
