for my 02'
sports package (P63) $1580 Windstop, Cruise control, CD, Hi-Fi

Sport Chassis (030) $ 690 More rigid Springs & Shocks, stiffer stabilizer bars,. The euro 030 is lowered, the US is not.

The option packages remain similar from year to year. You can use the 04 Edmunds options list as a starting point http://edmunds.com/apps/newtmv/TMV?path=lo&action=4&styleid=100368955&tid=edmunds.n.options.ntmv.1..Porsche*

No replacement for the Porsche Windstop or Cruise Control. There are always lots of choices in CD and Hi-Fi.

For the Sport Chassis, there are H&R springs etc that are comparable and lower. The current favorite option is the Bilstein PSS9.

The better price is the car that already has it all. You can't buy and install H&Rs or PSS9 for $700. But hey, sometime you just have to by the Blue One (or Speed Yellow, whatever)
