Default GT3 newbie questions...

Hi Guys
I generally float around the 993 & Boxster forums.

I am looking at buying a 99 clubsport, and have a couple of newbie questions.....

- Does the 99 GT3 have a manual throttle body, or an eGas throttle body ?
- Are there any established HP upgrades ?

cheers

Q: The '99-'00 GT3s were all mechanical throttle linkage. The '04 GT3 is the first with EGas.

From what I understand, a cruise control retrofit is possible but pretty involved. I also understand the Porsche dealers will not do this for liability reasons.

Ed did a cruise control retrofit on an e-gas Boxster. Do not see why it could not be done on other e-gas cars. Jeff
