Liked the comment on the 911 forum about "take your time to get used to the power".

They clearly don't know what you used to own! biggrin

Are you missing the Nob yet on the power stakes? I for one would be very interested to get some feedback on the differences/similarities of Noble/911TT (GT3) ownership.

Enjoy!

Thanks Oggs!!!

Greg, Yes and No, if that makes sense, lol. I loved the Noble and its raw feeling of power. I just couldn't bring myself round to using it everyday. The Porker is defo not as quick at the mo to say the ton mark. Beyond that however it f'ing flies, which is bad news for my license. I will be sorting this out. Going to get her re-mapped, new diverter valves and a new zorst. Should be around 500 bhp with that and should liven it up a little.

I've been driving it all weekend and i love it. Agreed it's not as much fun at times, but it is soooo capable. Loads of grip, but you can still have a little fun where wanted, lol. Was even out in the pouring rain yesterday. Couldn't believe how well it held the road!!

I'm sure someone will be along sharpish to take the wee, lol. Come on Matt where are ya??

Adjustable dampers are quite easy to fit and make a good improvement on the handeling - I think 550BHP is about the limit unless you change the internals - but you can take the engine out in less time it takes to take the battery out in a Noble! - If you want mega performance speak to Ray West he has done loads of these and has currently got one himself for a project car which I'm sure he'll take you out in if it's been tuned up to any degree yet. - there is a draw back with the pork though - the fuel tank is a pathetic at 60L ! wink

they look pretty nice from behind - what is the performance like ?

you can get them up to early 500 bhp with little effort

Ray west has aready been mentioned, he knows his onions with them

how does it compare in terms of handling and do you get so many nice looks when out in it ?

what does a 996 T cost these days ?

That's more what i was expecting, lol.

Gadge, the car is great. Like I said not as much out right fun at times, but very capable and with a little remap and a zorst things should liven up. Got to say off the line it is brilliant, even in the wet!! You still get admiring looks (Well when its clean) but granted not as many as the out going Noble. It's brilliant on the motorway to. But I am very scared about how long i will have my license, as it masks it speed all to well at times.

Did think about Ray West but I think I'm going with Fearns Sport.

I know I've only had it since Friday, but I love it. Have used it everyday and haven't worried about leaving it in a car park etc. Also, I plan to do a lot of Euro drives over the next couple of years and i think this will be a great car to do them in. Fast, comfy, and reliable.

always had a place in my heart for one of these.especially after having the older 911 turbos.they do now seem in reach after holding their price quite well till a year or so ago.want to sell my 2.5 to get a 400 but had to really think really really hard as to which way i will eventually go .the 400 gets it by a whisker.if i had a young family it would defo be the 996T

Dunno, but even if you could it will do your back in getting babies out of it! You need a Cayenne!

What's up Stiggy,

I was just thinking of you, and not in that gay way, lol. I go away for 3 weeks shortly but when I return I will give you a shout!! It would be certainly be good to try some top speed runs.

Speak soon

James, hmmm, nice example but to go from a motor with its engine sitting across its rear axle plain to one with its engine slung across its rear bumper - well do check the weather forecasts before you go out each time old bean! getmecoat

Got to say mate, i covered some of my local roads a lot quicker than I could in the Noble at the weekend. In the rain there is no way I could have stayed with it. but then again I don't have much talent, lol.
