Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

This is super Porsche nerd territory but does anyone know the maximum incline when going from a flat road up a hill, i.e. the angle between the front wheel and bottom of front bumper. The reason I ask is I’m thinking about getting a 996 but there is a fairly steep ramp between road and garage, I want to see if the car would make it up or would it scrape its front bumper.
Does anyone know the same for a gt3? Can’t afford one but was looking at a 996 that sat a bit lower, closer to gt3 ride height.
Which version of 996 are you considering?
There are a few different models which all have different bumpers but I'd guess the none aero standard bumper on the early car gives the best clearance. Ride height will also affect this. I've got 2 lowered early cars but one with aero and one without. I had without for over 4 years before getting with and I never had any rubbing or catching ever without but with I get it all the time. Pics from 5 years ago...this is without obviously...
Hi, well I had a 986 boxster s many moons ago and it had the sports chassis option. This reduced the ride by 10mm and looked superb! But it did reduce incline angle so if I had any concerns about steep ramps I would definitely look for a 996 without this option!
