I'm surprised the tranny went in that car - they're usually bulletproof - as is the bottom end in it as well. There is a lightened one with carbon fiber panels and such with 1000hp with drag slicks on all 4s running around in TX I believe. The owner also has a Gallardo and Carrera GT. He brings out the 996 when he wants to do damage. He made a 997 Turbo with 620awhp look extremely slow - he put about 20 car lengths on it in no time.
It's really a 1000hp supra but with traction.
That would be my weapon of choice - greatest thing of all - it was all stock looking except for the black HREs.
Atlas, you know what a Porsche is right?
Actually from what I know and what I read there have been a number of guys having transmission issues with those cars. They're great cars, but it's not an isolated incident.
As for the 996 you're talking about, I'm very familiar with the car you're talking about if you're referring to the black on black 996. I think he actually lives in Galveston and runs around with a lot of the exotics in and around Houston if I'm not mistaken.
