Re: Frankfurt show: All 997S are 381 hp!
By all, I mean, all the S models on the stand, which indeed, is two models I think, a 997S and a 997 4S cab.
No Aerosmith, the powerkit will not equip the S model, it remains a very expensive rip off.
Value for money is defnitely not a strong point of the powerkit, the car I've optionned is just shy 130000 Euros!
but if you put things into perspective, it's a pretty good package. We're talking SL55 or DB9 kind of price for example, and the 997S surpasses them easily in terms of performance, style is another matter of course.

Tell me about it, I'm the same way...... But I think a properly calibrated aftermarket supercharger makes one hell of a lot more sense than the power kit. If I find myself feeling like I'm driving the "poor underpowered 1st-year orphan" (like alot of early 996 owners wound up), I'll have to snoop around for a proper tuner!!!

Hummmm..., yeah..., innnnnteresting. I never thought like that but when my warrenty runs out and if my car proves to be decent (the opposite of a lemon) that's a good idea to play around with. Why not? No reason Porsches should stop (no, rather slow down) costing money to enjoy, huh? Yeah, sounds like fun. Adding new life to an "old" car ( will get a can of New Car Smell also). Of course you'd have to choose carefully among local PCA reccoed tuners.
