Since the hood was up maybe a slower view of the scene might reveal the air box if it is a turbo?

I saw that movie the first day it came out, and I was like "hey!" and my gf looked at me at the same time. Then I thought "I wonder how long it will take before there is a thread about this"

Took longer than I thought

I'm not familiar with how acquainted you are with the S2, so I don't want to sound like a wise*** here. But all you have to check for is an airbox. If it has an airbox, it's a 951. If it doesn't, it's an S2 (they are under the header panel). I couldn't tell as it flashed by. Shock does that I hear

yeah, i figured someone mightve caught the airbox kevin.. Like I said after i saw the movie i downloaded it to see if i could tell.. but i cant because the resolution isn't good enough in the downloaded version.

Good deal. Screeners can be pretty low-fi sometimes, huh Thanks for looking, Devon.

I noticed that too when I saw the movie however if I remember it was missing the intake and a few other engine pieces might be able to tell by the cam housing whether its a turbo or S2.

FYI - if the car has the door ding strips "delete" option, there will be no 16 ventiler badge. I know of a couple of these that I've seen around, including mine - which has the original paint.

As a highschool teacher once said to me, "You're obfuscating the problem!"

How's the ol' S4 holding up these days?

Well the movie is very funny so you should watch it. But the P-car is in the scene at the Focker's former nany's home, i am not really sure how far in that is.
