Apparently I lied earlier, this will be my last photodump on Kinja Oppo. This will also be my first photodump attempt on The Hyphen.

A friend of mine bought a 911 a month or so ago, a plain old 996. Not a Turbo, nothing fancy, just a 996 with the 3.4. It did come on turbo twist wheels, but he hated them, so he got these big fuchs reps instead. It also has Fabspeed exhaust already. I haven’t driven it, but from what I can gather from the passenger seat, it’s a lot of fun to drive.

He asked me to take some photos of it yesterday, and since he likes things on the punchier/contrastier/saturated side, that’s what these are.

So without further ado, here’s some fried eggs for you all.

I’m just old enough to remember how batshit the Porsche people were about the 996 in the new millennium with the Internets. Water Cooled? Boxster Headlights?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Yeah, it’s really not a pretty car from the front...I do like the back end, but if I had 911 money, it’d be something aircooled for me

Man, those wheels look a thousand times better than the twists. I hate those things— makes me crazy that Porsche, of all companies, doesn’t do L/R spokes. Even my 86 RX7 had left and rights.

My Cayman has a 3.4 with likely 60 more hp, wonder if my fabspeed exhaust sounds similar though!

I’ll try to get a sound clip at some point! It’s raspy, very metallic but not too harsh and not too droney, I quite like it
