MWM,
Welcome to the 996TT family. I got my car used with 300 miles and have put 400 miles on it in 3 weeks...the break in period is killing me...2000 miles!...no more than 4,200 rpms...I have occasionally gone over this, but only by mistake...the car is sooo coool

A lot different than the M5....the brakes get a lot better and what Greg said about the cornering thing is very true..I'm thinking of going to the porsche driving experience in Atlanta in June...Interested? Its a little pricey for a one day course, but hey, if you can afford a turbo, then ....
Go to Evolution Motors Sports.com for some cool upgrade info..I'm probably going to wait a while before doing anything to the car...
have fun
J
