If you want a great deal of tech info of what changed from one model year to the next you should order the Porsche Technical Information Books for the years you are interested in.

Also, can someone help me with the details of what other changes occurred in the 1999 to 2000 changeover and the 2000 to 2001 changeover?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm in the market for a 996 c2 cabriolet w/ tiptronic. Specifically I thought the '99 - '01 would be in the right ballpark on price.
Upon test driving a 1999 model, I realized that the tiptronic does not have the "downshift while in drive" mode of the new "tiptronic /s". What year did "tiptronic/s" appear in the 996 c2 cab?
Also, can someone help me with the details of what other changes occurred in the 1999 to 2000 changeover and the 2000 to 2001 changeover? (or is there a faq available somewhere?). To keep matters focused, I'm specifically interested in the C2 Cab changes.
Thanks!!!
If you want a great deal of tech info of what changed from one model year to the next you should order the Porsche Technical Information Books for the years you are interested in. These are a technical summary of just the changes.
I think they run about $12.95 each and are available from <a href="http://www.my-porsche.com/technical/tech2.htm" target="_blank">My Porsche</a>. The Technical Information Books are near the bottom of the page.

Can't give you all the details of the changes made in 2001, but my C2 Cab, 2001 model year has the tip/s

Thanks all for the inputso far....here's what I've been able to learn from other sources:
2000 model upgrades
- tiptronic /S that allows downshift while in D mode
- "interior enhancements" (anyone have details?)
2001 model upgrades
- upgrade trunk carpet quality
- additional functions on key remote
- hood release color changed to black from chrome (the chrome on 99/00 scrapes easily)
- LED interior orientation lighting
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
