JWM Posted 12May, 2023 Report Share Posted 12May, 2023 That was a great read ... must be fantastic to drive. Given the costs to rebuild The M96/7 that a few people have talked about here lately, I wonder how long before someone makes this a more repeatable process and it becomes the standard option for sorting a 996 or 997 with a stuffed donk? sjm and tomo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 12May, 2023 Report Share Posted 12May, 2023 I've always liked Jethro's style of writing, and his summary of the car and his personal thoughts is perfect. No it's not a GT3 or an air cooled, yet having driven a few air cooleds and both standard and modified 996's, I'd say you get the best of both worlds for under $100k Now we just need a decent video of his car to annoy the shit out of me 🙄😁 tomo and JWM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
