    Very good news for 997 Carrera S owners!!!

    The upcoming 380 HP powerkit will be offered for FREE (!!!) for owners who bought their cars before 04/01/2005!
    Cars still at the factory or on their way to customers are not egible for this sensational offer.

    APRIL FOOLS JOKE...

    No joke, just received this info too from the press department. Seems they've chosen a dumb date for their announcement.

    Also Boxster S (not Boxster) will get an extra 35hp starting April 01, 2005 production .

    As soon as I heard the word Free and Porsche in the same sentence I knew there was something fishy, I don't think so...

    It would have been more believeable if you had said that Porsche starts charging for the air in the tires.

    Re: Very good news for 997 Carrera S owners!!!

    I believe the 996 powerkit was $13,000!

    But I don't think this same pricetag is justifiable in the 997S since for 10k in the 997S you get the 30HP and upgraded supensions, exhaust, xenons, wheels, etc. so carging 13k just for the powerkit now would be absurd

    i wish you are correct Carlos because it is an insane price for 30 HP!! Its like the depreciation of the car
