Viken has covered the new drink holders, and they are slick and functional. But the important things are: 20 HP increase. It will be 320 HP officially 18" Carrera Wheel is a Hollow Spoke with 6 LB lighter weight per wheel. That's 24 LBs of unsprung weight removal. Exhaust is 7 lb lighter with a much improved sound. The glove box is actually very functional and actually holds the books. On Board Computer is Standard The Bose Sound System is Outstanding. I have a Bose in my A-6 4.2 Audi and it is not even close to the sound of the Porsche. Bose did a great job working with Porsche over the past 3 years developing this sound system. With the Turbo style headlights come the Turbo front fenders which are 10 mm higher than the prvious 996. Over all the new car looks outstanding with the new front and reat bumper covers.

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.

For Bill Hodges: 1. When will the price list for 2002 996 options come out & posted on your site? 2. How much is the "Bose" option? What exactly is it? 3. Is it bundled w/other "useless" options? 4. Just bought an RSX-S which has a great sounding Bose system w/6 disc in-dash CDs, tape player, AM/FM radio, amplified antenna in windshield, seven speakers inc. an amplified woofer built into the spare tire. It does not however come close to the C5 corvette Bose system. Does the new Bose in the 2002 996 Porsche sound as good as the one in the 2001 Corvette?
