What will be the real acceleration and track difference with Power Kit?
Does it cost its money?

Hard to say... You can expect about 0.5s faster Hockenheim time and about 4s faster Ring time.

kreso- i don't know why you don't own a porsche.

---i suspect this power pack will put the C4S to cost exactly as much as the R8 V8.

You are missing MY point here. First, I am sportscar enthusiast, NOT die hard brand fan(Audi in this case).

Second, I still like R8 more.

So Carrera 997.2 C4S is really very - 4s faster on the Ring means time lower than 7:50! that's really great...

I dare to imagine what will be the time of 997.2 Turbo on the Ring...

Porsche still having some tricks to pull, and I don't mind it at all! :D

Would still have the R8 though.

Any thoughts on the price?

i have been following this, but no news. porsche is pulling in line with R8 V8 pricing here i suppose. kind of interesting. anyone have any updates? the two cars will be head to head until the 2011 V8 arrives with ~460 hp.

any news on how much more the 997.2 TT will cost?

Power up kit for 997.2 will cost u an extra EUR 14,454,29
Paddle shifters will cost EUR 487.00
Add LSD,PDK,leather interior & sports exhaust………It will b cheaper 2 buy a GT3.

Ow, did I hear Porsche is finally offering some descent paddles for the PDK? We need pics!

I've seen a PDK paddle upgrade from Gemballa. It seems there are two versions, buttons of F1 style.

Most Porsche tuners buy from the same source anyway, so I think most tuners will have their versions / logotypes out soon.

Not much luck finding the paddles for PDK.

X51 sounds good. Surprised there isn't an X50 pack for the 997 Turbo on the market....then again, most go aftermarket for extra power on the turbo.

the C4S with powerkit will cost almost exactly as much as the R8 V8 or even more. with DSG will be much faster.

Porsche Sales manager claimed that the vast majority of ppl purchasing PDK equiped Porsches trade in their car after a few months 4 a manual gearbox. Nothing wrong with PDK itself but Porsche fans feel that PDK takes away from the Porsche driving experience.

Masculine steering wheel from Gemballa but the arrows on the paddles look stupid. I’d prefer “+ & -“ or “Up” & “Down”

If Porsche offer something called "paddles" one would expect it to be normal paddles with up on the right and down on the left. All else would dissapoint. Unfortionally there probably won't be a fix for the PDK stick, where Porsche has misunderstood in which way you are supposed to pull the leaver when you shift gear in manual mode and simply swapped it around. Pull for downshift and push for upshift? Did they forget one is pushed back during acceleration? Give me a break :doh:

Concerning the paddles and their function, I expect something like this:

And this is where Porsche went all wrong. Check the M-mode, how could this happend? I've seen it on a few other cars out there aswell (like the Audi RS6), is it something VAG has "invented"? Oakley even got it straight with their kit for Porsches manual gearboxes, but Porsche themselves really hit their head in a wall when designing the PDK. So sad :w:
