Beautiful. Are the wheels platinum satin or painted body color (agate)?

Beautiful car. But if I ordered the powerkit I would insist on it not saying "EXCLUSIVE POWERKIT" on the engine cover. That's not what exclusive means. It derives from the word exclude, and nobody is excluded from being able to check the box on the order form for the powerkit. Seinfeld had a whole routine about this.

Excellent! This month's Panorama magazine has a section on the GTS which covers this engine too of course. The torque just sounds utterly amazing.

Now get those fingerprints off your roof top!

No offense but how is $7K for 30hp a good deal? ..coming from the Porsche factory or not. You can achieve that type of gain on a .2 with an exhaust.

$7,000 for 30 Porsche proven HP, warranty, integration, resale; just to name four, is very cheap. For many buyers (of a PowerKit) the price of something is irrelevant. They buy based on value.

Exactly! Throw in an IPD plenum, and hell, you've got another 75bhp at least!
