Default Lauch Car??

I been seeing people talk about "launch car" here often. What is a lauch car? How do I know if a specific Carrera is a launch car or not?

Thanks....

Excuse me for appearing to sound like OCBen, but have you bothered to do a search on "launch car?" There's a thread about 3/4s of a page down that discusses your very question. https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...was-there.html

Guys, we can't keep typing the same stuff over and over again, particularly when it's on the same page!

I am not sure of inventories, but I know there are still 2009 C4S launch cars out there. I bought one in February...

Put this into Google and you can check lots of inventories:

Under Options on the actual sticker you'll see:
PAG Code - Launch code N/C

Under Additional Equipment on the "online" sticker you'll see:
762 - PAG Code - Launch code

easy. no such thing as a lauch car, so all specific carreras are not lauch cars.

well it's no wonder any search on "lauch cars" would come up empty...

Laugh cars?-- funny cars? Nitrous?
Lunch cars?--cup holders AND TRAYS?
Lard cars?--Buicks?

After all these posts, I can't see how anything else will help. We've given you the launch code, the way to check inventory, Trader posted inventory, etc.

How can you hold a job that can pay for a Porsche with such "skills" as these?

So do you know now? It's really not hard. Check the inventory of different dealers for 997s. Find one with the launch code above. Check out the options. I'm assuming that's what you're talking about.

We're trying to help, but you're not making things easy here...
