Does anyone have a list of the differences between the Mark 1 and Mark 2 Clubsports? Mark 1 were the 2001-2002 cars and Mark 2 are the 2003-2005 cars
.
Thanks!

Wheels and carbon mirrors/spoiler IIRC were the big changes. Believe only 86 483hp ones were built,

Any idea how the extra 23hp was achieved?

More boost/remap. No new parts as far as my research has gone.

To best of my knowledge (owned a 1999 series 1 Clubsport for many years), most of the series 1 cars were 1999 and 2000 builds and all built at Weissach as a batch. There were a few from late 2000 early 2001 built at Stuttgart; these had electric mirrors and frunk/engine cover and did not have the rubberised dash material. The series one cars don't have a passenger side glove box.
Series 1 cars have a cable throttle vs drive by wire in series 2. The series 2 cars had variable inlet and exhaust cam timing vs only on inlet for series 1. The ECU is also different with the series 1 cars having the same ECU as the 993.
Most series 1 cars had cable frunk and engine cover release and manual adjust side mirrors using a stalk. Also a bunch of early clubsport cars were delivered with a short ratio final drive (my one was). A lot of these cars raced for a season before the 996 cup cars became available. Some also had a bolt-in front section for the roll cage; again for racing. Most of the series cars 1 cars made a good deal more than the claimed 360 bhp. With a catless exhaust my one made about 390. The doors on my one were Aluminum but apparently not all were.

Sorry. Just realised the request referred to GT2s not GT3s. I never read closely enough! It's the age thing you know.

Cool to know, anyway.

Was the bump in hp for all MkII or just club sport?

TheDeckMan

For all MK2's

Just came across this from Porsche, covers some of the topic at a high level - https://www.porsche.com/internationa...s/996/996-gt2/

Nice to see something official.
