the sound of the exhaust at idle is definitely not flattering. however, when you open it up, it sounds pretty good!

My question is how is the turbo lag comparted to the evo IX? I imagine the varialbe turbo impeller to be a hi-tec interesting turbo and should be the first question people aske about the car

Nice ride.

I’m just curios how you got this car since the Porsche dealers can not sell 997 turbo’s until 6-26-06? Porsche wanted the first cars to go out on the same day.

Nice ride.

the IX has a little bit more turbo lag. basically, i feel the car is definitely making peak torque by 2800 rpms.

although the dealers are not supposed to sell them, they do.
