Any difference between California TT's and standard US TT's?

Doing my research on the 996 TT while I'm saving up some cash for the purchase and I noticed there are different VIN codes for California TT's and TT's for the rest of the US. So, are there any actual differences between the two?

My gut tells me it might be in the emissions system or the factory tune due to emissions, but I'll wait for the actual answer from you guys.

Thanks!

Loren, I tried looking into this because I know that some car manufacturers do in fact make different cars for the California market. Toyota being one that I know of for sure. Different emissions equipment.

I picked up the book: Ultimate Buyers Guide for the 996, by Grant Neal and Peter Morgan and it confirms there is a different "country code" for California (C03) than the rest of the USA (C02). Any way you can confirm if there's different equipment on the car? I would assume there's something different otherwise why would they bother having a specific country code for just California.

Thanks!

Sorry, but the book is wrong. That was true on the older cars."C02 = Rest of USA (in 1991 became all of USA)" (from Porsche's VIN and option explanation).

My car is a MY99 California car and it has a C02 code.
