Looking forward to the Summer wind in my face...

I found my Deep Purple 300 TT in October of 2002 in Morgan Hill, California and brought it home to Washington State. That was a very fun drive that was mostly white knuckles with a grin ear to ear.

According to the Z32 Registry there were only 577 TT's brought into the US in 1996. Only 8 of these cars had color code LP2 or Deep Purple Metallic Paint. If anybody has better numbers on the 96TT's let me know.

The car Dyno'd at 269 HP and 265 ft.lbs. of torque with the K&N Pop Charger on a DynoJet machine.
Since then I have installed a Labree exhaust system from the turbos back with downpipes, and an RPS clutch and flywheel with an ATI Crank UD damper.
