It also has a new engine and I drive it on random track days and the odd weekend run so I don't forget how to shift.

I have been lurking a few weeks. I just got a 99 Coupe a few weeks ago and am full of questions which are mostly answered in the archives.
I have owned 911s continuously for the last fifteen years and am a PCA instructor. My first Porsche was a black 87 Carrera which was a daily driver and autoX car. My second 911 is a fully prepped �76 3.0 which owns several Kp records here in Northern California. I was planning to race PRC Toyo Cup series with it until fatherhood threw a wrench in that plan. It also has a new engine and I drive it on random track days and the odd weekend run so I don't forget how to shift.
I bought the car with a brand new engine and two year warranty which convinced me to compromise on the transmission. After three weeks and 1800 miles, I like the Tiptronic on the street even thought the shifts are mushy. Now my shyness ends and I have some controversial opinions about my new car.
1. it handles like a real Porsche even with the disposable engine
2. Tiptronic is very cool for a commuter car
3. my car is too loud and attracts the wrong kind of attention � confirmed by Valentine1
Here are the details
* 46k miles overall
* 400 miles on a new engine, work done at Carlsen Porsche w/ 2 years warranty
* 18" Carrera light alloy wheels
* Tiptronic
* Sport Seats
* Sport Exhaust - (big oval cans)
* Springs � lowered (unknown)
* Red calipers
* Red seat belts for front and rear (hmmm)
* Clear Armor Protective Film on bumper and door trim
* Updated Clear side marker and rear light
Welcome to Rennlist and Congrats on getting a 996! I am also glad to see that you have become a paying Member.
Oh, and thanks for sharing the pics! Nice l@@king P-car!
Damn, another "newbie" that I can't b!tch slap for not posting pics! That's two this week!
I'm starting to have withdrawal symptoms!
Again, Welcome!
Nice car. I really like seats/seat belts. You may want to add some more red to the interior to go with the belts. I did my gauge rings in red. Good luck with it.
+1 for stock exhaust! It's nearly silent on the highway, but makes pleasant sounds when you romp on it. For a daily driver, I think it's the way to go.
I'm sure swapping your exhaust for some one's stock exhaust will be no problem...
Awesome and welcome from another 99 tip owner. I daily drive my car and agree that it is a great commuter. I have added the plenum and a k & n drop in filter, and I love the performance. Scott.
I will have to get a little seat time in it - I need to autoX to find when it loops cuz it doesn't the PSM safety net. I do drive it over a windy coastal range every day with back road options.
My track car is only 2200 lbs and is a blast to toss around so most of my track time will be in the silver car.
