Anybody know if there are any differences between the new 550 Special Edition Boxster S and the regular Boxster S of the same year besides cosmetic differences....maybe like sport chassis standard or lighter curb weight??? ![Confused](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)

15% shorter throw
the 50th Anniversary Edition rides 10 mm lower than the standard Boxster S
comes standard with Porsche Stability Management (PSM)
18" standard wheels
S

..as well a 5mm spacers. One other think is the sound from this car is much more of a growl, than my sport muffler equipped '02 2.7 had.

Just sold one to a customer from Ohio last week. I'm a 993 & 996 owner and was very impressed with the way porsche setup this car. Many differences, too many to list. I have it on paper but it's a full page long and I don't feel like typing it. There are a lot of cosmetic differences, however, there are several mechanical as well. I think the major ones were touched on earlier.
I'll look thru my list and add anything missed.
