When you gonna let the cat out of the bag over on Rennlist? I can't wait to see that KrazyK guy's reaction to the LS in the back, especially when he finds out the original engine was in perfect condition and not blown.
If you need a good chuckle, go find other threads and posts by that guy. He thinks the 996 is some kind of precious piece of art that is to be looked at, not driven, because it is a delicate flower that mustn't be soiled by the cruel ravages of the outside world.
Pretty sure he thinks his car is on the same level as a Ferrari Daytona or something. I'm sure he'd be a BLAST to have a beer with (er, sour apple martini probably).
Those old dudes on the list tend to get cranky when some one shows up not handing out any fucks when it comes to a 996. And the hard core fans get bent out of shape because they honestly believe they have the best thing on 4 wheels ever conceived by mankind and it should be placed in only the highest regards possible.
So when you show up trying to "improve the car" that simply does not compute.
Such favorites as: "Oh noes! I Just washed my car and now my rotors are rusted, Do I need to go to the dealer?"
Or: There is a green light on my dash board under my speedo that is a half circle with an arrow (cruise control light), does my car need service?
And my personal favorite: " Help my new Porsche does not have back up sensors, how will I know when I'm about to hit something while driving in reverse?"
The thread today by the guy who was super proud of himself for changing the oil on his own made me laugh.
996 forums are funny because of the price point they're at now and the type of car it is. You're either a younger guy (like us) who bought one because they're a great performance value and a lot of car for the money so we bought one to modify the shit out of and have some fun with it (and, let's be honest, how cool is it to be able to say you have a Porsche?).
OR you're an older, middle class guy who has waited his whole life to finally buy a sports car and you think you just bought a Picasso on wheels.
