I've got an 09 PreFL P30 (Performance Pack).

I don't have the Red Calipers or the CF Rear Wing, but I do have the stiffer suspension along with the LSD.

Do I have the Forged Internals also? Or was that only a P31 thing?

I'm pretty sure I also had the +30HP, but, I have a Eurocharged V5 Tune from the Previous Owner, so hard to say whether it's faster than the standard 63.

Any input?

No forged internals. No HP increase.

Interesting. They advertised that there was an HP Increase in HK. Weird.

Either way, this is a photo of my engine bay, somebody said the most telling sign is the Intake Manifold?

P30 generally has the speedo raised to 174mph but no more hp or SLS internals.

Do you have Alcantara on the steering wheel?

Phil Chow

Yes I have the Alcantara

Interesting! So many different variations!

There are lots of different options, across different markets. Plus you get aftermarket modifications like painting calipers and adding carbon fibre boot lips or changing steering wheels over. Can't say I have heard of anyone painting intake manifolds though.
The only sure way is to have the dealer run the VIN and check option codes.
