      The standard Internet response...
      Yes they have issues like many of premium brands, m power big ends for example, but they also have solutions as covered in this video.
      By a car thats had a replacement engine, or maybe just stick to a normal car. Wheres the fun in that though

    I had FGP fit the Milltek Cup to my 996 C4, along with Top Gear headers and can confirm the great sound. These guys arguably becoming one of the leading authorities on 996’s, given the numbers they see through the shop.

    My wife and I are both very attracted to the idea of a 911.
    Where we part is power and colour.
    She thinks even the base Carrera is adequate and that only under spoken colours will do.
    I think that not only is more power an essential element but I’m open to lary paint. She doesn’t like the idea that quite quickly, everyone in our neighbourhood would know who owns that Speed Yellow 911!
    We’re both similarly sensitive to spec and to interior colours, finishes and wear of these. We’re both light on our interiors. Cars we’ve had for over a decade still look very similar to how they were when we bought the car.
    I’d choose a Turbo at the drop of a hat, recognising that I definitely don’t need the performance but that the pleasure of owning one would be terrific.
    Speed Yellow 996/997 Turbo? Black leather interior plus upgrades? Yes please.

      Attic Silver 2004 911 996 X51 package 3.6 litre with 55,335 miles and 6 speed manual transmission. Would rather drive and listen to it than the 2015 911 C2S 3.8 liter PDK. Both are fantastic in their own right but that 996 has unique, beautiful eyes, a fabulous curved wide body and she shows her strong passion on the roads.

      I considered looking for a C4S that had the front diff' removed as per C2 spec but couldn't find one for sale. Has been done though. I ended up going with a C2 in the end though.

      Adds quite alot more value , if it was a factory fitted optional extra , imo prob what it cost at time of build ,so I'd imagine around 5-6k on top of a standard c4s
