997RS - How many keys?

[ScottL]

Anyone else on here taken delivery of a model year 08 997RS?

If so how many keys did you get?

I got the two main keys but not the spare key which the handbook says should come with the car.

OPC claims that all 2008 cars now come with only the two main keys. "Something to do with the VTS".

Can anyone confirm or deny?

...my RS is coming next week.

Martin - are there are any other changes for MY08 cars eg I heard the Eco switch has been replaced with a/c off button. and the side skirts are now painted as standard ?

any piccies ?

[martin thomas]

forgot about the 2 vts things .the sideskirts are still black and i think that is a good idea as it would be stonechip city down there. as for other 08 model changes i heard they have an extra 50 bhp over the 07 models

[martin thomas]

On a serious note though after a disasterous collection from east london opc hitting london rush hour and totaly loosing my rag trying to get out of the sh@t pit of a city. all i can say about the car is WOW WHAT A BL@@DY MARVELOUS PIECE OF MACHINERY.

I've been told I'm getting one of the new '09 model year with LED front and rear indicators, re-profiled front and rear PU's, re-tuned suspension, direct injection and 435BHP

[martin thomas]

yeah but i've got my name down for the 2012 model that's supposedly going to be able to shrink at the push of a button so you can carry it round in your suitcase. thought i'd be able to take it on holiday with me.

..and you think I'm joking....

Porsche don't share future product plans with their dealers. Information tends to leak out causing sales of current models to stall.

Whoever is feeding you this info is purely speculating.

[martin thomas]

well said scott i thought about a post like yours but thought it would be playing into his hands hence my little bit of humour.

Well, as the new GT3 cup car is out next year (for supercup and carrera cup) and the things that are being changed from the current cup car are almost identical to what James has said, it makes sense that Porsche would use the new model for the new GT3's and RS's!

Makes sense to me, I will ask Porsche directly and see what I can find out...

Your welcome

[martin thomas]

Thanks again paul for passing on your build slot to me.
TOP MAN.


just a shame about the crappy london traffic

[Captain James T]

and it's best to speak to the guys in Germany to really find out what's happening. It's amazing what you can dig up with some relationship building...

[ScottL]

Well lets dig out your post in 12 months and see if you do indeed own a crystal ball.

In the meantime I'll enjoy driving my car rather than dreaming about the future.

Hey Scott

Congrats on the new motor, have you got any pics? or had you just been driving since you picked her up? Hope all is well.
