996TT Questions Palette? ttboost?

[hahnmgh63]

I've got some 996TT questions, maybe ttboost or Palette can answer, or others. How much of a premium should someone pay for a X50 package? Did the 996tt facelift end up in N. America in '02 or '03 and what more do you think a facelift model is worth? What kind of changes did they do to the facelift models?

U are in mkt as well?

I've been thinking about it for a while, but I'm also thinking about a Turbo Cayenne. My "Wants" don't always seem to line up with my "Needs". I was originally thinking this next Winter or next Spring but I'm getting the itch now.

Scratch it! Im lightening load selling S8, thought about BMW m3, rs4, etc but I really do prefer turbo, and I had a 911, great car.

X50 package is just upgraded Turbos to k24"s for K16's. I have seen 996 02 going for 35k which is a steal i tell yea! X50's closer to 40k. i paid 90 for mine 5 years ago but to be honest i am happy that i have it. first cause my wife bought it for me (still our Money)
If anyone wants a great Porsche buy the 997 it is bar far one hell of a car, upgraded fuel system, upgraded turbos, better heads, better cams. Minimal work just a tune and it will go like stink!

Hated my wifes M5 it was a big pig.

Hmmm,

Clean 02 for 35k? You got to be kidding me. Hmmm

I also considered a Cayenne TT for the wife before getting the AMG. I may revisit that situation as the AMG may go byebye this year.

Mmmmmmmm.....

[ttboost]

Yup. Bored with mine too, but I'm not gonna give it away for 40k either...just keep making it faster. I f you can;t swing a 997 turbo, a 996 turbo will do...easy to mod and good bang for the buck too. The AWD is less than impressive, so don't rely on it as a DD if you live up north. I have since converted mine to RWD and it's way more fun and way faster. I say got for it...now is the time...What do you want to pay for a modded one :)?

[speedtrapped]

When u modded to rad, did u just remove front axle?

[ttboost]

I'm guessing your talkin to me and you meant RWD? I removed EVERYTHING. Front dif, axles and driveshaft. Saved 71lbs total. If you don't remove everything, you still have stuff turning. We suspect my dif was bad as we didn't see a difference on the Mustang dyno from AWD to RWD. We did just drop the driveshaft for the dyno session. I think my weight loss mods gave me almost as much performance as my bolt-ons.

best conversion ever! i should have done it long ago

[ttboost]

Yes, the AWD in that car was a complete let down...much happier RWD...
