If you want your VIN#, call your SA and ask. I had a VIN and it showed up in TYD well before my car started production. From others in NA reporting in during the build process, that seemed to be the case - VIN shows up before production start.

Makes sense. Larger turbos are more useful further up the rev range making more HP.

you are correct and thank you. It showed up yesterday on day 1 of the build start. Never been so excited over a darn vin# before, 🤪

The 911 "T"uned is almost 400tq @2500 where the Tuned "S" is only 300
100 more pound feet of toque at 2500 rmp is a nice head start.

my old M3 comp use to deliver TQ at 1500, now that was a neck snapper.

The 4th photo is hidden in plain sight. Click on it. Then scroll down to your ‘first’ photo. Click that and swipe for the next 3. I tried the F12 hack for maybe 2 weeks post build complete. Then these just appeared unannounced. You will find 3 on your laptop with one of those whizzing past so fast you can never see it let alone download it.

Those inline 6s are monsters. I think we are seeing more traditional OEM's moving towards them too. Stellantis with the hurricane for example, or Chevy with the Duramax.

100%. My VIN was displayed via TYD 11 days prior to production.

I don't agree with Guy 1. Anyway, moving on.

I'm new to this forum as I lived over in the G-body area and it's the first I've read it. Glad it was brought up again.

First of all I think everybody knows mainly the software is different. This is not different for all other big brands like BMW etc. You have a base engine which comes in different formats and power output. And you pay for more horsepower just by tuning the software.

Secondly you cannot say there is nothing different and then in the same sentence state what is actually different. The fact that the brakes and springs/dampers and turbos are different seems enough to justify the price tag. So you basically just proved your own post to be wrong.

Furthermore the GTS has more differences in the exterior and interior as well. Yes we all know the GT engines are different. All other engines should be the same, which makes a lot of sense.

More like 1850 rpm (officially) and really felt above 2000 rpm, but you are right...when that torque wave was released in the S55, you better had a plan and was pointed in the right direction. The "non competition" F80s were very "spiky" in torque delivery and they've tamed them down a little in the Competition version.
The CS has even more torque, a little higher in rpm range, but also pretty spiky in delivery if you don't play nice with the throttle. With TC on, if you press the throttle more than half an inch at once, it will do the Macarena, nicely swinging its hips and leaving 20 ft of rubber on the road - the one reason I have and will have Cup2 on this car, despite their "limitations". Whoever thought 285 mm of Pilot SuperSport is enough, must have been the same one who thought 255 mm SportContact 3 would be enough for the W204 C63 rear axle.

On the T, even when wet, the 305 rear and the sweet linear torque delivery curve give plenty of confidence and grip. I like it
