Long time lurker first-time poster.

My love affair with Porsche started 9 years ago when I met my now wife and her mother in law let me drive their 997 Carerra s with PSE, since then her dad has owned 4/5 different 911's including a 991.2 Turbo S that I get to play with, its safe to say I am obsessed.

It's finally come to that time, I'm buying the very car that started this all - a 2006 997.1 C2S, the owner is stating the car has clubsport, PSE and PASM etc.

but in the photos of the interior I can see only three buttons at the bottom of the console so it seems like its missing a "sport" button and an "exhaust" button however the outer pipes are slightly bigger than the inner ones.

Is something fishy? im trying to re live that feeling I had in the old car and while I cant afford all the carbon they had - the PSE is something I am really searching for.

Thanks in advanced!

Flach6,

Not sure about the .1's, but my .2 has a button for PASM (the shock absorber icon at the far left) and PSE (the exhaust pipe icon). I don't have the Sport Mode button as I have a MT, but here's a pic of my center console. For PSE, if you don't have this button then you don't have the factory installed PSE (so maybe the seller installed an aftermarket exhaust that is switched elsewhere?). I suggest you get the VIN and check the original options on the car for peace of mind. Can you post a pic of the console? FWIW, here's my console:

Does the car have Sport Chrono? The 3 buttons you're referencing - are they one with a spoiler icon, one with a shock absorber icon and one labeled PSM?

This is the only imagine I have of the interior - from the description, it is listed of having - sports chrono package plus, PSE, and PASM along with a bunch of other things

The best way to tell for sure is to use a VIN decoder and pull the original options. Ask the seller for the VIN and you can use one of a few different sources to get the factory-installed options to know for what it has ... I think there's sticky thread on this with a few different sites. Good luck, you will LOVE the car you end up with

Something sounds off....

I basically have the same spec'd car less the PSE and I have four buttons on the bottom. Left to right....

Spoiler
Sport+
Sport (PASM)

Far right is PSM

Perhaps PSE was added by the PO and is tied into the Sport button?

Could it be something to do with it being a UK car and RHD? was the button layout different? also thanks for all the replies guys - I'm going to call up tmr and get the VIN and see if that can shed some light.

You have the wart on the dash, so, likely it does have Sport Chrono.

I believe 997.1s with Sport Chrono don't have a separate exhaust tips button for the PSE. It's tied into the Sport mode when the sport button is pushed.

I thought that too but I thought he said he didn't have a sport button - confused.

As I said above - not sure what the buttons are just know that there are 3 as per the image I supplied.
Havent seen the car in the flesh yet. going to see it Monday

I would ask for more pictures of the dash to confirm. If you're spending that kind of money the least they can do is offer up better quality pictures.
