997 power upgrade?

[jcosh]

Does anybody here know anything about the proposed power upgrade for the 997?

Nope..
Just getting to grips with what I have[]
Is there something behind your question, are you tired of the RS and feel the need for a downgrade[]

No, not board with the RS................... yet. Just planning for the future.

I'm fairly sure there is a power factory power upgrade on the way. About 30+ hp. Just wondered if anybody else had any further info/thoughts.

Have you heard if this will be an across the baord upgrade or an optional extra as was offered with the 996?

I think it will be available as a factory fitted option. About 8K I beleive????

So far, all I've heard is that the 997 GT3 due out the end of the year is due to have around 400hp.

Have to agree with Nick - I only use 354bhp of mine[][]
Anyone want 1 bhp ? []

jcosh are you refering to the X51 option for 06 cars? or are you asking if there are going to be power hikes across the range as standard for 06 cars?

the X51takes the 3.8l Carrera S engine from 355 to 381 hp and peak torque from 295 to 306 ft. lbs. will cost about Euros 11k, so not cheap.

hikes across the range don't usually happen till year 3 of production.
