I recently purchased the detailed VIN decoding from Suncoast and have a few questions regarding some of the "options" that I see listed. I have been searching the codes on Google for the better part of an hour and have not run across any answers, so I am hoping someone may be able to help me out. I apologize in advance if my Google-foo was not worthy....

First, it looks like my car originally came with a black top but the PO may have replaced it with a red one (at least per the decoding). I do not know if that is the case but the code shows "Roof Color 4V Roadster Top in Black" and below that "Convertible Top Color A27". However, I have the red leather interior with natural leather option and body color roll bars.

Regarding my questions, I see the following codes that are not necessarily self-explanatory:

"171 Acoustic Package USA"
"182 Tropical Zone"

I am trying to find out the details of the Acoustic Package and Tropical Zone. Did all 981's come with the Acoustic Package (assuming it is related to noise suppression)? If ot, what is it? Same for the the Tropical Zone, what exactly is it?

Edit: One last question. How accurate is Vinanalytics.com when it comes to the car's MSRP?

Thank you very much for the post and link. I can tell you that the car is surprisingly quiet for a convertible. It's actually quieter than most other cars which was one of the first things that I noticed when I went for a test drive (other than the glorious exhaust note).
