Do they come with Ceramic brakes or those are just yellow calipers?

I don't think Porsche offered ceramics back then. They first became available with the 996's.

Does it have a 425 hp or 450 hp?
Hi Ludas, yes the yellow calipers, side intakes, rear wing, quad exhausts(I swapped mine out for Fabspeed bypass pipes as they original tips weren't to my liking) came standard on the Turbo S.

Jason, I had actually researched this quite a bit before I purchased the Turbo S. The US spec had 424hp (emissions etc.) while the EU spec (same as mine) came with 450hp. I believe, the same happened to the E36 M3's in the US - the EU versions had more hp as well.

Jason is correct, the CCB's were first available on the 996.

Hi Mo, perhaps sometime in the future. However, I'd rather get a 993 GT2 CS and slap BBS on those, it would be more fitting IMO.

Hi Jon,
Sorry no videos. I did take a video of the Turbo S which I posted in another thread on this forum. Was about a week or two back.

cool car Mike,the 993 "revival" of the last 3-4 years shows just what a classic that model is by design and and driving feel,for me it's the most fun car to drive regardless road/track,i am sure we are going to see more TSers going for 993's now

^^^Well said, Hugo, the first Porsche I ever drove was a 993 RUF BTR and it was love at first drive especially when I dropped the hammer on that thing. Driving was never the same for me after that.
