Obviously there was no planning in that photo....

I got a few miles to catch up to you! (my 944 does have 240,000 miles though)

Congratulations Pedro! How many more are left in that little white beast?? Missed you at Boxstoberfest but I'm sure you'll have fun at SEMA.

It was a tough decision...
... not to go to Boxstoberfest this year.
But SEMA should be interesting and hopefully rewarding.
See you next year!
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

Bit disappointed not to see a 200mph at 200k.

I seriously hope mine has the same maintenance record, that is just phenomenal.

Curious if the butt dyno has noticed any lost oomph? Or if the old M96 still feels about as good as it did before?

Congrats, I love mine and would love to get 200k out of this car too.

Wow those photos took alot of planning, and risk at 150mph!!!


So you changed the oil and filter about 38 times, that's approx every 5000 miles. Interesting.

Most of my cars, I change oil every 4 months about 3-5K miles. This car had a 15000 mile interval. So I have been changing it once a year 10-12K. After this thread I think i will just change it along with my other cars every 4 months.

I wish the car could...
... come close to 200 mph.

It really hasn't lost any oomph at all.
At the short tracks I can keep up with the 996s and 997s.
I've won my PCA AX Class 3 years in a row, so it still pulls very hard.
I recently did a leakdown test and the worst was cylinder 2 at 96%,

Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
