The US got the 996S before Europe. It was specially produced for the US market wanting the SPS. Because of the emmissions laws, it got an underpowered motor. I've attached a picture of what your US 996S should look like. Hopefully it does.
Europe got the 996S as a gap filler between the bip & SPS - customers wanting the SPS engine with a Bip config.
Anyway - does it look like this vlud or is it a bip version?
