As for performance I am trying to decide if I want to do the PPE headers\dual exhaust combo, or save up for loooong time and go the novel route. You really cant beat the sound that the novel setup makes.

The only other thing I would want to do is add a mechanical LSD.



I actually brought this one back to Texas. It was sold at the Plano Porsche dealership in late December or early January to the second owner who lived in Kansas. He is in the army reserves and didn't want to make payments on the car while it sat in the garage and wasn't being properly cared for. Unfortunately he didn't get to enjoy it much and only put 3-4k miles on it, but it worked out for me I guess
When I was looking for an F I couldn't believe how many there were for sale in the two states mentioned, TX and KS. I found mine in Kansas, literally had only seen rain one time, and was cleaner than any car I had seen for sale in California.

It has just over 79,500 miles after the drive back and I am LOVING the car more and more every day. Enough of all that though, onto a couple pics! I will get some more hopefully tomorrow.

right after I picked it up


after I got it home and gave it a bath
Congrats! Where in TX are you?

Thanks, she loves it, what I'm afraid of is when she drives it for the first time I may not get it back lol

Damn, haven't heard of any in Waco! We have a few in Austin, but haven't heard anything from Waco. Represent!

Holler at me on here if you make to Austin for anything!

I definitely will, let me know if there's anything I might be missing in Austin. I might be heading down to Houston next weekend for tx2k.

My mom actually knows the owner of the 2012 SFP, she's an older lady and definitely not on CL or into the car scene. I do know she loves the F and won't give it up though, lol. I don't know anything about the other USB owner but looking forward to running into them at some point.
