BB AP1....

yes...the 2001 996 has 300hp (296 to be exact), and about 260 lb/ft of torque....

the 996tt has 415hp and 415 lb/ft of torque....

Unless you have a SC in your S2K....forget about it...

Cheers!

Around 1998 didn't the new turbo 911 vacuum the doors off every production car sold in America (sub 4 sec 0-60)? And set a new 0-100-0 record of 12 sec? And sell for an almost pleasing $99K?
