I've never seen any other mention of a 996 launch edition. Is this on the level? Click on the "Description" tab for a...description...
Thanks!

I dont think it's the same context as the "launch" you are thinking (aka take off from a dead stop) I think it means the begining to a new series being introduced (we launched (introduced) our new car to the US market)
just my opinion though.. others agree

This car:

..is being marketed as a "special edition." Is it really?
Otherwise,

There is a sweet looking '99 in Glacier White with an Aero kit with 49K miles on it listed in the Classified section. However, you may not be able to access the link below because only paying members can access the Member-to-Member classifieds. The car is in Martinsburg, WV.

I think what they mean is that this was one of the first 996's to hit the dealers and they came pre-optioned from the factory a certain way. I remember when the 997S first came out, the early cars were all similarly optioned. ie loaded... Therefore, it's not really a special edition it's just one of the first 996's. IMO.

P.S. I just ran the VIN through PCNA. I did not see any launch codes..
