Hi
I have just traded in TVR Chimera for 04 911 carrera cab. Must admit to being excited about picking it up at weekend. No doubt will be a big difference in these,will miss the V8 exhaust noise.

v8's all sound the same save for the flat plane ones a la ferrari.

the flat 6 on your 996 sounds much more special - enjoy

Congrats on the purchase

As has been said, the flat 6 has its own distinctive sound which I'm sure you'll grow to love (especially with the roof down).

Post some pics when you pick it up!

I drove past a police car today, he was stuck at some traffic lights, facing the other way, and with his window open, so I gave it some beans just to make him look. He looked. biggrin

Er, no they don't - try comparing a C6 Corvette (Thor gargling with nails) to an E92 M3 (slight muted warble)... Chalk and cheese!

Flat 6 is still best though! biggrin
