Well, when it comes to the 996 there's a female version (NA - non turbo) and there's a male version (twin turbo).

That is all you need to know. :D

Got the car as a 49.75 (50th) birthday gift to myself, after years of hard work, putting three kids through college, rebuilding a business from the ground up (19 years) it was finally time.

I went from wanting to purchase a 911 whatever (996?993?964?911?977?) to a
996 (budget of 20 to 30k) to 997 40 to 50K, to a GTS to a GT3, back down to a C2s. Reason being, i have a race car, and while the GT3 is probably my ulitmate dream car, I wanted a driver. A car my wife and I could take to LA, tour in comfort (not too racy) and basically, a car i WANT to use, not worry about. The C2S as opposed to the GTS, it really came down to a Looks thing for me. When I was at the Porsche August event in Monteray, i realized my first Porsche love was the 74 RS Carrera. So this car will be close to that look.

Future mods include, the sport classic wheels, lowering it, the ducktail by Getty, and possibly the Carrera decal down the side.....

What year is it. My dad has a 996 that he NEVER drives. I drove it and while its nice balance wise, its not my '13 SS Camaro.

Very Nice! I've owned two "Real" '74 Carreras, one a RS. Getty makes very nice parts! For the Carrera Decal, find Joe Bob on the Pelican Forums. Are the New Fuchs Forged or Cast ( they are available in both)

my Carrera Clone built on a '84 Carrera
