I was headed to CT last night and ended up running with a 911 Turbo S (with NY plates) through much of NJ. It had the yellow calipers and the Turbo S badge on the rear. The car looked pretty sharp and seemed fairly quick. We stopped for gas together in NJ and only chatted for a brief second, but the owner said it was imported.

I knew Porsche made some Turbo "S" cars back in the 993 days, but I didn't realize they brought it back more recently. I assume this car was a 997 (I'm not completely up to date on the newer P cars), so what's different on the newer Turbo S?

 

It was a 996 model, which came out in 04-05 I believe as the last model run for the 996 model.

 

they didn't make the 997 turbo S models yet...i believe this year for 2010 and 2011 they will be available.....

 

Thanks guys, I'll ask the question in the 996 sub forum!

 

you dont have to.....its cool, just know you were looking at a 996 and not a 997....google both cars and see which one was he driving....

 

wow, you guys handled the mix up with class!

im very impressed with 6speed, rep applied

 

Could have been a 993.

I don't think it was a 993, it had the slits in the rear bumper. It must have been a 996 since it obviously wasn't a 997.

Thanks again guys, I posted this over in the 996 area where it belongs.
