Well, no. My car is not a CPO. It was just a no-brainer deal that appeared when I was looking to get a "new to me Porsche". I was looking mostly at 996TT but this strange opportunity appeared an just bit the bullet.

But I guess that the flash would be probably the best option(power-wise). I don't know what is the overall opinion but my thoughts are that most Porsche buyers prefer a stock vehicle as a flash is normally associated to a car that has been punished. And that is kind of my concern with doing the flash. The retrofit on the other hand would be "Porsche approved" and would have what some people consider a "must" in a 997TT.
