Sounds awesome! Is there any better engine noise than a flat 6?Quote:

nerdspeak:
In the 911 Carrera S, none of the higher orders approach the loudness of the dominant third order, which explains the inline-six's smoother sound compared with the eight-cylinder engines.

Thanks for that! This is so in my nerd zoneQuote:

That company knows exactly what that car is worth. They have 7-8 of them for sale.
I just bought this on Friday...
07 bmw 530 Xi with sport package for the wife to cart around kids. It is 9 years old, but close enough for this thread. It has 82k on it. $11500.
I think it is pretty fuckin nice for a 9 year old car. Also, I love silver with black interior, and the 5 series sports seats are incredible. I thought the 3 series sport seats were nice, these take it to a whole nother level.
The 3.0 I6 is a good engine.
You don't get pulled over with that tinted plate cover?
Yeah if that's the same High Output 3L I-6 that was in my old e90 330 then that thing fucking rocks. Great buy!
That looks great. Nice buy at 11k!!!
1999 C2 with a newly rebuilt ~400hp n/a 3.8L. Sounds like it was a proper rebuild from the parts, that's a 15-25k job by itself.

That's a cool looking 996.
Yeah, I don't normally like all that aero-kit but this one looks nicely balanced. Cool car.Quote:

Already getting a tranny drop, so what the hell. Heres the full restoration 356, grundle shot
New pressurized oil fed IMS, same design as the Mezger style engines.
No need to replace, no known failures like the ones with bearings.

Got rid of the Z, picked up an older 996 Carrera out of a garage in Anaheim. Wasn't planning on making the switch this soon but unfortunately I drove the 911 and it played with emotions.. the year, condition, wheel/brake combo, color and price were perfect.Quote:
