this is why your opinion means moot to me.. the rear fenders and front bumper of that car should induce vomit in anyone.. you would think the owner of that would invest that difference in a turbo rather than widebody.. funny thing to note is when i had 325 rears on my car, the performance was actually worse (slower accel, worse gas milage)... so his 345's or wider on there just prove useless... doesnt improve accel/decel/handling.

I agree...the 996s didn't do it for me. The 997s changed everything I didn't like about the 996s.

swap wheels maybe 2-3x more in the next year or so and then trade it in on a new 991/998 (not sure what they are calling the new model yet) porsche when they come out...
i used to be a mod heavy guy in my civic, but after all the mods.. its still a civic.. when i had s2000 i didnt do much body mods at all but enjoyed how clean it looked with just minor lip or something/great suspension/seats/wheels... G35 i did only suspension/wheels and dabbled with seats but its really just a pain to be changing stuff alot because their are always hiccups involved.. when i got my first 997 i decided to just go simple and did tint/wheels/suspension/radar jammers.. but wheni went to buy my second (this car) with the evolvement of the "heat resistant/reflecting" leather they now have and the new hydrophobic and ultra heat resistant glass used now... i decided tint was not worth it.. the only downside to no tint is lights from other cars behind you so i got the self dimming side mirrors and rearview mirror.. and then chose tons of interior amenities as well. has gotten to a point where i enjoy the options from porsche so much on my next porsche i will order it lowered from the factory with the adaptive suspension so i dont have to worry about coilovers.. but i will still do my own thing when it comes to wheels/exhaust... one of the coolest things that i did not get on this car was air conditioned seats.. definitely a must have on the next!

In all seriousness, you're driving a P-Car. I'm sure more than 75% of people here would love to own one. Now, thats not to say that people would have chosen another car for that price but nonetheless it's a great car!

friend of mine bought a gallardo late in 08 and has spent well over 35k in maintenance since buying the car.. YES 35k and the worst part is its in service so often i rarely even see him driving it. ferrari isnt nearly as bad but its still up there.. i bought a sports car to drive and not worry.. i didn't buy a sports car to always be maintaining it.
