Greetings all...
It's been a little over 2 years since I was in my old silver '99 996. For those who do not remember, I had a wee bit of a headroom problem with my helmet. Now, I knew non-sunroof 996's were out there, but I have never seen any (other than GT3's). Until now.
I will be purchasing Screameleon's white Carrera this Saturday and driving her home. I cannot tell you how freakin excited I am. This car is TRULY my dream car. I have waited a LONG time to find the right car. And, in 6 years of looking this is only 1 of 2 cars that I personally have ever seen for sale with no sunroof.
I am sooooo grateful to have the opportunity to be back in a proper Porsche.

Yup...after my dad passed both the M3 and 996 were on the market...Thankfully I was able to work through all of that and keep both cars. I'm guessing that the new ride will get pleanty of track time, maybe we'll see you at VIR next year!

Congratulations.
What a fantastic car. It was ironic that I just got my 99 Aero a few days before this went on sale, otherwise I would have made an offer for it. Absolutely stunning car!
Enjoy it in good health,
Pete
Sold the M3 in Dec last year to start my business. This year has been fantastic. So much so, my wife pulled me aside a few weeks ago and said..."you need to be in a Porsche again. You deserve it."
God I love her.
FWIW - Here's the M3 in street trim:
And in track trim:
And then me at my last DE hauling azz last Sept (Passing a bunch of Porsches....sorry
) :

Chad...glad that you are back on the forums and that this car stayed in the
family
. The white and balck contrast complimented with the aero package makes it a unique car.
I also waited for the right opportunity and after a 2 year seach became a 996 owner. It makes the moment more gratifying when all the stars align.
Enjoy it
yeah....now I remember that ad...it's funny how you showed interest on the sale link, and now you own it. Man...tons and tons of goodies on that car. Nice deal too. Almost too nice to marr up on the track...no?

chad i remember i was interested in buying your car way back when. you're picking up an even better looking car with them pretty 19s even if they are made by iForged.
welcome back, bud! you and i have the same eye for 911s i believe.
Well Chad, it sure didn't take you long to catch on to Ben! For some reason he thinks that crap is cool, neat, and/or acceptable! I think sometimes he forgets to take his meds.
welcome back. now you have head room. hope you lost a few pounds so you can fit in a sparco evo2
just kidding.
how did the m3 treat you?
nice find on the sunroof delete 996.
Chad,
How tall are you? I'm 6'3", and I'm thinking that it would be a really tight squeeze for my noggin and a helmet inside my C4S, unless I rake the seat back way too far.
Well, if I may be so bold, maybe I can answer that for Chad. It's not just the fact that he is tall, it's just that... well.... he has a big head. How big you ask? Well, do you remember the Jack in the Box commercial from a few years back when Jack is watching his son play football? Well, Chad uses that football hemlet on track days!
Sorry Chad - just having a little fun!
Ben, you really don't get it do you? Either that or you conveniently forget the crap you say in some of your one liners like "don't
be sorry for me,you're the one holding the iFuqs
" Totally unnecessary!
I suggest you go back and read some of your bull**** posts and then decide if you really want to start to contribute here or just remain a Troll!
instead of yapping about it like a school girl and calling people internet bad names, why don't you get a t-shirt with a big R on it and tell yourself you're He-Man master of the Porsche universe, defender of trollkind?
in all seriousness, i told chad congrats, complimented him on the car, but he and I and others know how ****ty iForged wheels are. he's getting rid of the wheels so how was that a jab at all?
seriously man i think getting rid of the porsche is making you even more sensitive than before. it's like you lost a nut.
6'6" Thankfully I am rather equal in dimensions. So I fit rather well in many sports cars. Even with custom seat and brackets, the sunroof coupes gave me a headache.
More to come.
