Porsche power package
... for 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo... be sure to add the optional X50 enhancement package
- factory-only option boosts engine output to 450 hp (from 415) and torque to 457 lb-ft at 3500-4500 rpm (from 415 at 4600 rpm)
- modifies turbocharger, air intake cooler, ECU, exhaust, and strengthens the tranny
- costs an additional $17.700 (15% of base price)
- a relative bargain compared to the 911 GT2
- cannot be retrofitted to 2001 or previously produced 2002 Turbos

Posting this off-topic item to show how the competition is raising the bar.
Hopefully Honda/Acura gives us similar performance options with the new 2003+ NSX(e.g., a coupe-only, performance package including lightening, stiffening, better braking, factory ground effects, etc).
