Really I just got a bit bored with the Supe! So I've got a 2 year old 911 (996) Turbo S with a re-mapped ECU delivering 530 bhp, adjustable race suspension, sports clutch & exhaust & ceramic brakes. Awesome.:)

 

All I need now is someone who can afford a really good facelift Supe.

 

Good choice - but you'll need to sell the supe to fund new brake discs! ;)

Mmmm. I know its not cheap to run a Porsche (this is my 4th!). But it only needs a service every 12000 miles as opposed to 4500 for the Supe - so there is that compensation. And anyway just look at how much money people sink into their Supe's.

The only thing I need to buy for the Porsche are some locking wheel nuts!!!

I really hope you were aware of the price of ceramic discs before you bought. Porsche's are not cheap to run, but they're not too bad. But ceramic discs are a whole different ball park - they are something ridiculous like £2k-3k per disc. I can't remember exact prices but I'm sure I've read that a set of 4 would be more than £10K.

 

I think you can replace them with standard steel ones if you have to though.
