Big fat 0...Valentine radar..24/7...Has paid for itself over and over again..

Still for sale

Zip.....haven't had a ticket in over 35 years.

Bump to this thread guys! I am putting my 997tt back together after some extensive works, I bought this 997 febi guibo and compared it to the old one, seemed the same, so chucked it away... Now I am actually onto rebuild I find that the fit is not perfect as with the OEM one. It has a gap between the metal sleeve and the locating machined hole in the tranny output. The only way to close it is bolt it up then it slightly distorts the Guibo... Not good and I am thoroughly p*ssed off with the car at the minute lol So does anyone know where I can get the GAP01-002 part from? Has anyone else had a fitment issue with the Febi? DO I have the wrong Febi part maybe? or am I missing something... many thanks upload

None. I keep the excessive speed for the track.

I got one last year on I-70 right in the spot where the speed limit drops from 65 to 55. I think it was for 68 in a 55.

I have received 4 tickets in the last 10 years. None of them made it past the court and went on my record. Always had lawyer represent and get reduction... Faulty equipment etc.. Worst ticket I ever had was 125 in 65 on I 95 north of Richmond VA. Was actually going about 140MPH at 3AM... . Even had a few friends go out with radios and clear the path for the run. Car towed, Put in back seat.. Real good times. Cost me about 1K in legal fees.... But never had it stick. Lasted over a year. Basically waited the court system out. Yes, yes,, I have all the standard equipment... I love when guys say "I never get a ticket.." I never get one either when I drive 10-20 over limit. Nothing combats instant on with no traffic if front of you.. Period. That was 8 years ago and was driving a 1989 Porsche 928.... No tickets in last 2 years in my Twin Turbo or GT3RS.. P

As I mentioned before none, but I do have an interesting story: This past February the weather report was for a clear but chilly nite, around 40-45ish. So a friend and I thought we'd take our cars out for a nice run around 5am...We met up at the Sunshine Skyway at 4:30am. Went oveer the bridge going around 80mph and the plan was to open them up once we hit 75 South and run to HWY 70. Well, we did just that and all was good running hard at 130-135mph (my bud decided to slow down and get off at Ellington), then I noticed in the mirror two headlights coming my way, no biggie I thought, whoever it is won't be able to catch up...WRONG answer, next thing heres this FHP car right next to me caught I thought The I hear him on the loud speaker, sir, sir, I'm going to need you to slow it down I waved slowed down to 70mph and he took off....Talk about luck....

Pulled over just a few weeks after I own the 997tt by a a twenty year old undercover Chevy Cavalier. Seconds later was surrounded by 7 black and whites. Was doing just 15 over but they didn't have any evidence that I was speeding. Must be my exhaust. Got written up anyways and paid the fine. These guys were all in the mid twenties. Rookies and haters!

2 Tickets in the last 12 months - Moved to Northern CA from New England. I had not realized catching speeders was such an important pass-time of the CHP. The first time was on 680 just outside Oakland. Coming home midday on a Friday doing about 85 and got busted. 20 years w/o a ticket ended in that moment. Online traffic court (no points), pay the fee, done and dusted. No biggie. Bought a radar/laser detector. Second time - I had the detector up and was crossing the San Mateo Bridge coming home from the airport late night doing at most, 80 mph. Got hit with what I thought was instant on. Slowed slightly but bc I was not flying nor did I see the police I carried on pretty much as is. 5 or so miles later I see the blues coming up on me at what can only be described as an incredible rate of speed. Did not even have time to take down the detector. 80 MPH for the ticket and a warning of reckless lane changes. I was too tired from the flight to ask when or how the officer measured my speed or WTF he was talking about lane changes. But by him writing the lane change bit in the comments I knew I could not go to court. The judge would eat me and my guards red Porsche *** alive. Paid the fine. Waiting for my insurance to go up. And honestly, driving slower. I wish I could afford a 11-99 foundation membership ... good cause and helpful for those who cruise at 80 most days.

its all about money$$$. the starting salary of cadet just out of school is $68K, not bad for a snot nosed kid. The head dude makes $484K. These guys do quite well after 20-30 years on duty, and there are the retirement/benefits. Here in my neck of the woods they are everywhere, hiding around blind curves, radar both ways, hiding on on ramps. Last summer I saw 6 cruisers on a on ramp and this fat f... was sitting in a chair on the overcrossing hiding behind a big green sign attached to bridge...shooting radar.. don't get me going.............

Zero - I'm a defense attorney. When I show them my attorney ID, they typically ask me to slow down and have a nice day. If you get any in Central NY State, give me a call and I'll do the same for you. LOL I drive fast, but not all the time. I do most of my high-speed driving on the track, which makes a lot more sense, frankly.

In CA, if you're traveling 20 mph or less over the posted speed limit you are most likely eligible for traffic school. The infraction will not show on your DMV record if you pass the class. You still have to pay the fine though. If you receive another citation within 18 months of the previous one you are not eligible for traffic school and the infraction goes onto your record. One thing about radar detectors. In my opinion, when you get the warning, most of the time it's to tell you you've been had. With the new laser units only a few detectors will detect them but by the time your detector tells you radar is being used it's too late for you, you're speed is already locked in.

don't get me going............. Here to... We have this bridge from Hillsborough County (Tampa) to Pinellas County (St. Pete/Clearwater) called the Gandy Bridge, well if your going East from Pinellas to Hillsborough there is a section where they sit up and shoot across the bridge, if your speeding your caught! This bridge and the Howard Franklin are great places to open it up because they're 5 miles long 3-4 wide and straight. But you can't because the FHP and POPO know this, loads of places to "hide." BTW, the Gandy was used recently to shoot an episode of Top Gear!

Haven't had a ticket in 20+ years - BUT- a few days after getting the 911 I was trying to see if the spoiler worked at 75. Went that fast for a few seconds and over the hill comes a state patrol. Tried to explain but to no avail. $200 & 4 points on a clean license. BS!

Quote: ha ha, I would have asked him too! As I cant see the spoiler at least the cop could do is tell you it's up.

owned the Pcar less than a month, got my first ticket!

One over the past three years. Also, within the first month of ownership. 105 in a 65. And, in traffic. If you're going to go ***** out, go ***** out. Zig, zag, zig, zag, zig, zag, zig, SMOKEY . I pulled over, and waited for him. My courtesy paid off. He wrote me an 84 mph ticket. $432 including online traffic school; no point.

Got pulled over three times within the first month of owning the carrera, two of which were fines and one for warning for losing traction in the wet. woops...

I bought my 911 yesterday, ticket today. I forgot my birthday was a week ago and got an expired plates ticket! DOH! Off to a good start!

I think the fastest in the 911 charged was 80 in a 65 on I95 in VA but ended up taking a class for $50 after fighting it in court(PBJ). I went to court locally this week for 105 in a 55 but not in the 911.. Another time 84 in a 55 I dragged it out in court for about a year and ended up with a 65 in a 55 plus court refunds. All other times I'm a catch and release due to other reasons.

Can't remember them all... Even with a radar detector I get pulled over once in a while. Hey, I've racked up 267K miles in my 02 Boxster, 97K miles in my 03 Turbo (since June 09) and with that many miles one's going to get pulled over. (This does not include the 120K miles in that same time frame with an 02 VW Golf TDi and nearly 40K miles in an 06 GTO and Torrid Red: Never got pulled over. Oh and uncounted miles in rental cars.) So all told that's around 524K miles of driving since Jan 02. Anybody in a minivan, a pick up, just about any vehicle can get away with 10mph over in many places but a Porsche Turbo? Hah! Heck even in my lowly Boxster tooling along in the slow lane at 5mph under the limit I got pulled over one night down on I-20 in Texas by an over eager city kitty who when the red car passed my Boxster. I knew the trap was there long before I crested the slight rise thanks to my V1 and the reports I heard over the CB radio that clued me in miles before there was a speed trap ahead. I got pulled over but I managed to convince the officer he made a mistake and he let me off with a "warning". Last ticket was around May of last year. 90mph in a 65mph. Bogus ticket. CHP officer was aiming the radar beam towards both directions of 880 at the Dumbarton Bridge exit and while some other vehicle was speeding he only had eyes for my Turbo. I contacted an attorney (Lee Mezzetti in Fremont CA -- he deserves a plug cause his office did a heck of a good job) and turned the ticket over to his office and the ticket was dismissed. Officer failed to show up. There have been others... Let's see there were a couple in Texas. I used an attorney for the 1st one and the rest I handled by myself. Texas offers probation before adjudication (PBA) and I do that and the tickets just kind of melt away as long as one does the paperwork right. In AZ I appeared before the judge -- after I had spoken with the PA -- and while I thought I had a good case for getting the ticket thrown out I was not certain I'd be free to make it back for the next hearing so I talked to the judge and the fine ($75 IIRC) was tiny and the judge added just a point on my license (the PA told me the ticket would cost me "3 points") which was point free then and once the point wore off point free again. That's the only ticket since sometime in the mid-90's that has not been dismissed or handled by PBA. I see so many worse things than speeding and yet I see no one pulled over for any of them. My belief is one could rob Fort Knox and as long as he didn't speed he could make a clean get away. But set off that radar gun alarm...

Quotes source post: 3848158

Quote: You've described me to a T. I set my cruise-control at 80 for most of my 101 and 280 commutes. I'm not sure if that's gotten me off of any tickets. In fact, I've gotten a ticket on a rural West Marin road (83 in a 55). I'm not upset, though. The donation to 11-99 is a great cause that truly helps out surviving members of fallen CHPers. In that particular case, my V1 was drowned out by having the top down and the music blasting to compensate for the wind noise. When the CHPer saw the V1 (remote mount, but still visible), it probably nullified the effect of the license plate.

Pulled over 4-5 times in 4 years, 2 tickets for "5 mph" over, got one dropped.

Not one speeding ticket, but one fix-it ticket for not having front license plate LOL

Never speed on Dumbarton Bridge near the end of the month. They're always ticketing to raise revenue.

I have been driving Porsche cars since 1973 and one speeding ticket two years ago. I was entering the freeway and opened the throttle to reach traffic speeds, and I guess according to the CHP officer, went over 100 mph . He ticketed me for 80 in a 75 mph zone
