last night i was driving home, punched it on the last block, had to stop at a light... went to take off and nothing...
i had to press the gas pedal half-way down before anything would happen.
prognosis is broken electronic throttle pedal...
i will not say what i want to say - except that if you think you can buy a 996tt for $40k - i hope you have some money saved up.

Sorry to hear that, but I have to say with all of the years under my belt with Porsche's I have never heard of that happening. Along the lines with any used car I guess you have to expect anything to happen..99' E36 M3 Coupe

My point wasn't the miles Alex, it's the fact that it's been a lemon with issues since day 1 of his ownership Originally Posted by alex911s
