It won't change the motor, but may fool other people into thinking that I do.
Or I can try to fool myself.......CP

Now you just made my day. It's almost like getting a promotion at work. Thanks.

Hey !!! Within the same rumor it came out that the weak engines were installed in yellow cars...making them as some might say "yellow".
Damn, must be true. My car sure seems slow...guess thats why it needs those two "hair dryers", just to keep up.

I thought the rumor was that the OBD I cars have the same hp as the OBD II cars but Porsche quoted higher figures for OBD II to make the owners feel better about the CEL going off every two months!

After the introduction of the 993 - the VERY strong 3.6 engines went into:
1) White cars first - 4 wheel drive;
2) White cars - 2 wheel drive;
3) Special wishes..
You will see all strong engines are marked with yellow crayon on the underside of the casing...
As for 996 engines - that's a different subject..... As there were no strong engines nor weak engines. Rather, those were marked by the RMS problem or not...

There's mnore to that though, all OBD I cars that were G. Red, got the extra real strong engines, I'm sure you've heard of that too...
