Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not sure what section to put this topic down under, I guess here is as good as any. The stillborn of 965 project as per the EVO article details the right car, but just bad timing for Porsche at the time in the late 1980s. This would make a really cool tribute project with a power plant not unlike Singer’s Williams developed water cooled 4 valve head similar to the 959 power plant. Of course with the value of any water cooled 964 so high who in there right mind would butcher a valuable car to make a hot rod. And the dollars involved would be über nominal. https://www.evo.co.uk/porsche/203498/porsche-965-dead-on-arrival

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The article tells the story of why Porsche didn’t go with a  4 valve water cooled head and aircooled cylinders for the 996.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
