Looks real nice. Weathertech digifit makes some real good floor mats that are computer designed to fit perfect. Really good for snow and mud. I also put mudflaps on mine.

Thanks! It's not your eyes. I had a hard time reading it as well. I can clearly see the 331kw which means no E81 option. I do have the bigger front brakes though and stopping is certainly good.

Good looking Cayenne. Like the color too. Same wheels as mine. I'm looking to get them powder coated and make them my winter set. Congrats again.

(Which Might be standard. I really don't know)I also have the air ride. I was just wondering since mind had a few of what sounded like the upgrades from the e81 kit you mentioned, but I didn't see it listed on my options tag.

The Turbo S and E81 option cars (think of E81 cars like the X50 996 Turbo's before the 2004-05 S cars) Pretty damn near identical power wise! Anyhow the S and E81 955's have 15 inch (380mm) Front rotors. Also it's the end tanks you need to look at on the intercooler's to see if they are metal or black plastic! If you don't have the BBK your car is a regular model! Not sure what a base model car would be as there are so many options you can get for a CTT. I have seen them configured so many ways I have lost count! Lol!

I disagree with that! The Turbo gets so many nice interior and suspension upgrades standard that it was often more cost effective to buy a Turbo, especially used, than to outfit an S with those features!

Exactly this. My mom drove the S and Turbo and she said that the S didn't even feel like a Porsche hahaha.

I am glad to say that nobody will be able to say that this truck was driven gently from this point forward.
