550/575 Wanted

Why so positive today??

 

Have you seen JM's dial?

Sorry JM.

 

they're no more expensive, as far as I can see

 

Wow! Really? The 458 is pretty quick man.

Sounds like an amazing car for circa $75K.

 

that's my point!

 

I've still got 2 months and 24 days to go

And my car is in pristine condition because I've had nothing to do but clean and fix all the little things ..... I even cleaned, painted and polished all the underside of the car

Poofter polisher comes to mind but I still have penchant for women

 

You've talked me into it ..... hand me the razor blades , ..... which way do you slice the veins again ??

Beetlemania, is this the GG run again ??

 

Fair call.

 

Whilst there is a difference in klms and model year, if you sort by "Price, Low to High", the Autos are cheaper than the Manuals.

These engines don't have the IMS bearing and cylinder bore issues of the naturally aspirated 996s and 997s either.

Will you have yours in time for GG?

 

Cool cool.

 

you're not very smart are you?

Anyway, if I were buying one, i'd get the tiptronic.

 

Didn't someone get banned recently for saying that?

PAP!!!

 

nope...I got banned for telling a mod he was petty.

 

You're too esoteric for me.

At least you didn't call me dumb. Or did you?

 

I only thought it......I don't think that's against the rules.

 

Horrible as an auto.

 

Don't know much about these... Aussie delivered?? (Not too sure if there is a grey market on this model) Sounds like HUGE bang for your buck.

 

fixed

 

Is Tiptronic the one where the clutch engages when you put your hand on the gearshift ?

 

No, it's the one where you engage your brain before putting your hand on the keyboard

Tiptronic = Benz auto tranny
Sportomatic = Citroen tranny with automated clutch

 

Nope, I remember reading in sports car world about the tiptronic gearboxes on the 2.4 911s MANY years ago

A quick google and wiki says :

Manumatic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

tiptronic nothing to do with Benz .......... you must be pre-occupied with other things

 

You never read about Tiptronic in relation to 2.4 911's - they were Sportomatic. The technology was licenced from Citroen, who pioneered it in the DS.

911 Tiptronic is an electronic gear selector connected to an automatic 'box sourced from ZF. 928's used a Benz box.
