Please share your rare options
Please help out the Sports Car Club of America autocrossers by sharing window stickers, option code stickers, and pictures of your car.
Do you have a Porsche with uncommon factory options, especially Porsche Exclusive options?
Please post in this thread to share. The "evidence" will allow us SCCA guys to build our 996s as best as possible.
For example, do you have an option sheet with x74 on it? How about PCCBs on an NA 996, or a sunroof delete car? Please post!

Not exactly sure what you are after with this - I think the various options are pretty well understood. Anyways, I'm a newb to the 996 world, so what do I know? My 2003 appealed to me when I found it for sale a couple months ago because it had some pretty cool options:
- X51 kit
- factory chassis stiffening option
- short shift kit
- stability management
Those are the performance-related options (unless you think heated, color-matched back, leather sport seats with embossed logo make you go faster...
)
Photo is of the option code sticker affixed to the bonnet. There are lots of option code threads to help decipher.

Thanks, this is what we're looking for.
The short version is that any option I can show was available as delivered by the factory is fare game. I am take a base 996 and bolt on sport exhaust or m030 suspension and still run in the "stock" class. We are looking for some real unicorns, for example a car in the US with XSF, XSE, XSN for rear seat delete and gt3 buckets.
Techquipment was installed at the dealer and therefore isn't allowed. For example you said your car had a short shift kit, but the option sticker doesn't show XCZ. It was probably installed by the dealer or an owner. If it were on the sticker, I could go bolt a short shifter on my car and still remain in the same class, using your sticker as evidence.
All rather silly, I know.

Digital copies of the Porsche US 996 factory order guides are available on renntech.org...
Been a while since I looked as SCCA autocross rules. Is demonstrating the possibility of ordering certain options in combination sufficient, or do you need to show an actual build?

My rare option is that I have none. Pretty sure mine was built to keep the flash level high and the price low. Some silver colored accents and the Porsche crest on the seats is about it. Stock 17" wheels, stock suspension, no lsd, no shift linkage options.
Options that increase performance are still modifications should carry classification points. If you really want to be fair then I think you should start with a base car and then add points for any options/modifications, factory or aftermarket.
