Hello everyone, I am new to your forum. I currently own a 01 corvette conv. 6spd with a cold air package. I really like the 997S Cab and feel it is going to be my next ride. My question... Are there affordable add ons/ bolt ons to these cars to increase hp and more important torque. I have not driven the new 997 yet but the torque number is low compared to the vette. There are lots of aftermarket add ons for the vette but I don't see it for the 997's yet. Plus the engine compartment is very tight in these cars. Thanks David

 

Take one for a drive, you will be impressed!

 

There will be quite a bit of add-ons in the near future but, being a new design, it'll be a few months. I believe Gemballa has already released full exhaust and there should be more aftermarket companies following soon.

 

I have no doubt that I will be impressed. But, I do like the torque of the vette. I don't think there are many 997S at the dealer right now to drive. For those of you that have driven both cars. Can you feel the 100ft. lbs. difference?

 

I'm getting a 997... but yes.

 

You'll really have to drive both but I would say yes. The Porsche really comes alive above 5000 RPMs although it has plenty of torque to move comfortably in the middle RPM range.
