If I said I don't miss the extra 200HP, I would be lying but on the street there is not alot of places that you can use the extra HP.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi everyone:
New 2002 996 C2 Owner, but not a newbie! I have owned 6 Porsches over the last 25 years. Started off with a '84 944, then '86 928S, then '82 911sc, then '98 Boxster, then '02 996TT, and now after 4 years of being Porscheless, a 2002 911C2 in Speed Yellow (I was told they are the fastest C2 , hence the name speed yellow)
Along the way I have owned BMW 323i, Lotus Esprit V8, E46 BMW M3, and a few others
Bought from a forum member Joel Pirela.
I read all the Porsche Forums, don't post much!
Sorry Joel, I am using your pictures. I don't have any good ones yet![/QUOTE]
Welcome to 996ville. Your car is a real head turner. I almost bought a speed yellow 996 a few months ago but ended up buying my meridian metallic example. The interior looks great with the carbon fiber and matching yellow trim.
Love the speed yellow. Always one of my favorite Porsche colors although it can't be owned/operated by a driver who is uncomfortable being the center of attention. Great looking car - congratulations and welcome!
Your new Porsche looks very nice. Welcome back to the fold. When you have a chance would you compare the C2 to your turbo regarding power and handling. Just wondering out loud whether this beautiful SY lacks in power or handling. Thanks.
Thanks everyone!
Barn: I purchased the TT with a TechArt intake/chip/exhaust at about 500HP, no other mods. The OEM suspension is GT all the way, very dissapointing if you expected a sports car feel. I had to do PSS9's plus GT3 sway bars to make it more sports car! The AWD makes you feel disconnected from the road. Overall, the C2 feels more connected, there is much more feed back. The car is much more of a sports car than the TT. The TT's AWD, HP, and torque makes you feel like a much more accomplished driver. The power is addictive on the TT. If I said I don't miss the extra 200HP, I would be lying but on the street there is not alot of places that you can use the extra HP.
I always felt the same as you about SY. Ended up owning all black and red cars for 30 years. When I saw this car, it changed my view. I tell my wife it's a mid life crisis car! My wife says 1. It's not 'mid-life" unless you are planning to live to 100! More like 3/4 life crisis. And 2. You have been this way since your early 20's, this has to be one looooong midlife crisis!
