Default Dumb Q: Air Compressor

I should know this...

Does my 997.1 GT3 have an air compressor in the trunk? And can I use it to inflate the tires? Or is it only for use with the tire sealant?

the goo doesn't work that well and the compressor is not that powerful..takes a while to top up and gets pretty hot doing so.

best to have a mini truck compressor for the track or other source

Yes it has an Air Compressor, located under the floor board of the trunk where the wheel security bolt , tools and tire gage are.

It may be used to inflate the tires!
Use only the cig lighter elect outlet for it's power!

OK - I just bought a small one on Amazon which is much more powerful.

Tired of driving around looking for gas stations with working / free air pumps.
