I keep seeing that the 09 turbo is going to have revised led rear taillights, a deeper front spoiler and 15-20 more hp.....is this true for the early 09? My dealer simply said updated nav, and some updated option choices

noah677 is infamous around these parts
I have heard and read this so much--including my dealer-- that I believe it. But it really does not matter since a GIAC flash (when ready) + muffler change will give you so much more. I also believe this because porsche wants to say "500 HP' to stay with the pack.

This was a pretty good thread about what is the "2009" updates...and potential engine change.

The '09 should have the exact same GT1 based engine, and is NOT expected to have DI or other changes to enhance power. The '10, on the other hand, IS expected to have such. Only the TT. Non Turbo 911's for '09 get DI and other goodies, including more power.

I'd stay away from any DI/PDK engine comb in any upcoming TT. They can't possibly add enough bells and whistles to make it worthwile. I'll stick with my GT1 thank you.
