If it were on the sticker, I could go bolt a short shifter on my car and still remain in the same class, using your sticker as evidence.
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.

Please help out the Sports Car Club of America autocrossers by sharing window stickers, option code stickers, and pictures of your car.
Do you have a Porsche with uncommon factory options, especially Porsche Exclusive options?
Please post in this thread to share. The "evidence" will allow us SCCA guys to build our 996s as best as possible.
For example, do you have an option sheet with x74 on it? How about PCCBs on an NA 996, or a sunroof delete car? Please post!
Not exactly sure what you are after with this - I think the various options are pretty well understood. Anyways, I'm a newb to the 996 world, so what do I know? My 2003 appealed to me when I found it for sale a couple months ago because it had some pretty cool options:
- X51 kit
- factory chassis stiffening option
- short shift kit
- stability management
Those are the performance-related options (unless you think heated, color-matched back, leather sport seats with embossed logo make you go faster...
)
Photo is of the option code sticker affixed to the bonnet. There are lots of option code threads to help decipher.
Thanks, this is what we're looking for.
The short version is that any option I can show was available as delivered by the factory is fare game. I am take a base 996 and bolt on sport exhaust or m030 suspension and still run in the "stock" class. We are looking for some real unicorns, for example a car in the US with XSF, XSE, XSN for rear seat delete and gt3 buckets.
Techquipment was installed at the dealer and therefore isn't allowed. For example you said your car had a short shift kit, but the option sticker doesn't show XCZ. It was probably installed by the dealer or an owner. If it were on the sticker, I could go bolt a short shifter on my car and still remain in the same class, using your sticker as evidence.
All rather silly, I know.
Not silly and I will be watching this as well. This is pretty similar to the 99 Miata unicorn that slipped through and allowed them guys to do all sorts of neat stuff to build "the car".
Digital copies of the Porsche US 996 factory order guides are available on renntech.org...
Been a while since I looked as SCCA autocross rules. Is demonstrating the
possibility
of ordering certain options in combination sufficient, or do you need to show an actual build?
My rare option is that I have none. Pretty sure mine was built to keep the flash level high and the price low. Some silver colored accents and the Porsche crest on the seats is about it. Stock 17" wheels, stock suspension, no lsd, no shift linkage options.
Options that increase performance are still modifications should carry classification points. If you really want to be fair then I think you should start with a base car and then add points for any options/modifications, factory or aftermarket.
