Power of the X51

Dear Sir,

Do you have any information regarding Powerkits for the 996.1? I'm considering having one installed if they are smog legal in California, where my car is located. I estimated the zero to sixty time would reduce approx. 2-3 tenths of a second… does that sound correct?

This is a great topic, Cary, and one we will visit in a little more detail very soon – thanks for giving us the idea. The X51 Powerkit was available from MY2002 for the 996.2-generation Carrera, offering an increase from 320hp to 345hp. I am not sure if the kit is smog legal for California but will find out this information for our article.
