I am pretty sure I know the answer but is there any difference at all between the 07-09 997tt's? I believe there is no difference in these years and that the '10 is the next change in HP and Tq. Any help appreciated as I will be looking to change this year.

The updated touch screen PCM w/XM, Bluetooth, etc is only on the '09. The '09 is also the last of the race-proven GT1 block. But any '07-'09 will give you about the same performance from stock, if that is where your questions lead.

If you can find a leftover '09 somewhere, I'd jump. In fact, that is precisely what I did while I still could find both the car optioned the way I wanted, AND the deal of a lifetime.

 

yes the 09 had the Redisigned Center Console (Painted Black and Touch Screen Nav) 09 Also had many new Colours and Options, one in Perticular was the GT2 Seats...

 

what about headlamps? the bi-Xenon set up has me a bit confused..On my 2008 I seem to have one per side yet in some pics ('10?) I see two?

 

The headlamps were revised for '10 Turbos to provide the cornering lights that move with the steering wheel. These light first became available in the 992.2 facelift for non-Turbos ('09) and were part of the Turbo ('10) FL. Prior to that, they are bi-xenon for the Turbo.

 

Is there is difference in the Tiptronic launch mode?

 

Launch mode was just made available with the '10 facelift...

 

Were previous generation turbos updated or given face lifts?

 

Yes, first generation went from 3.0 260HP to 3.3 300HP after 2 model years.
Final production year (1989) first generation turbo got a 5 speed gearbox (G50)

Second generation (964) went from 3.3 320HP to 3.6 360HP in final production year.

996 turbo got improved dash after one model year (cupholders + PCMII)

To the OP, 2009 turbo got improved PTM (electronic fine tuning). More stability at the limit compared to 07/08.
