Replying to: madmanmoo (Jun 23, 2008 5:07 am) That would be the third version... What is your source? Anyway, I contacted Porsche Cars of North America today about this issue and requested clarification. Should get the answer in 2 to 3 days by email.

Replying to: heckmotor (Jun 23, 2008 7:30 pm) Heck, I messed it up a bit. All models are receiving upgraded calipers. The entry level model is receiving upgraded front rotors. Rotors remain the same on S models. Below I lifted the information directly from the order guide. Carrera Coupe Braking System 12.5” vented and perforated rotors w/ 4 piston monobloc enclosed calipers – front, 11.8” vented and perforated rotors w/ 4 piston monobloc black calipers – rear. ABS 8.0 – Anti Lock Braking System, brake pad wear indicators, hand operated parking brake. Carrera S Coupe Braking System 13” vented and perforated rotors w/ 4 piston monobloc enclosed calipers – front & rear. ABS 8.0 – Anti Lock Braking System, brake pad wear indicators, hand operated parking brake. I hope that helps!

Replying to: madmanmoo (Jun 24, 2008 5:18 am) Thanks madmanmoo, But isn't that exactly what I wrote in my first message? Since my entry is exclusively about rotor size and the calipers for the 3.6 l Carrera, I left out the obvious, such as brake wear indicator, etc. Replies to this message: madmanmoo (Jun 25, 2008 7:18 am)

Replying to: heckmotor (Jun 24, 2008 4:09 pm) Pretty much the same thing. It appeared that you were asking if all of the 911's were getting the same brakes. I hope I didn't obfuscate the matter too much.

Replying to: reidpetty (Aug 21, 2008 6:20 pm) Technology upgrades. Like Bluetooth, Ipod hookup, touchscreen Nav. No PDK yet for them. They will also receive the slight reworking of the lights. No power or engine upgrade yet.
