Today's insane question: Tow capacity of a Porsche carrera S?
does anyone know the tow capacity of a 997.2 S?
I was thinking how cool would it be if I could move across country with just my Carrera and an enclosed trailer (as long as my possessions are under a certain weight.)

WillWood makes a trailer system.... This was my hillbilly-rigged luggage carrier when SHE came into my life. This is her makeup carrier. I installed the Willwood bicycle carrier and strapped on HER stuff.
The receivers attache to the brackets behind the bumperetts although you have to cut a sliver slot out of their sides.
Check out the WillWood trailer systems here:

FYI if you really wanted to tow the big issues are if its a one shot deal and the other is to figure out what tongue weight the car could handle. With one shot attempt you could ignore heating issues, brakes, etc.
