Default Aerokit Availability

Just got an email from the dealer I'm talking to about a 997...he says that the aerokit is now available.
"Also aerokits are now available. The aerokit is $10,000, and looks like a million bucks!"

Has anyone else heard this? And while I'm currently waffling on the kit, 10,000 seems an awful lot for just a rear wing and front bumper.

I wonder if this is just the sales guy not being the brightest guy in the world as he spelt Porsche, "Porshe" in his email several times.

I'm still trying to decide b/ a 996TT or 997s; Rennlist has proven to be quite a resource.

Those Porshe aerokits are expensive and don't fit the 997 all that well. I would wait until Porsche comes out with their own. ;-)

He *is* talking about the factory Porsche aerokit. See it here:

LOL! I thought you guys in KY are allowed to make spelling errors. When you learn to spell *spelled* properly, then you can criticize the salesman who can't spell Porsche.

He's talking about factory installed on the 997.

damn, the 996 aerokits were half of that! thats nothing short of rape

the cost of the aerokit on an S with all the other normal options would probably bump it up to whatever the next GT3 would cost.

unless of course they arent brining the MK1 997 GT3 to the USA... heheh

That's what a KY education gets me, in trouble. I'm proof engineers and proofreading don't mix. Growing up in O'boro I thought owning a yeller porsh would be the coolest...

My first post and I already have Viken correcting me!
