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.

They have been making 911's for over 40 years, with each re-design (every 7 years or so) they refer to each iteration as another internal model number, whereas publicly they are all 911's. If your 911 was made between 98-2005, it's a 996. If your 911 was built between 2006-2012, it's a 997. The brand new 911's are called 991's. Hope that helps. DS

So what's up with them going down numerically to 991 instead of, for example, 998 for the new model?
POST 8Original post
That link should answer your question. Going direct to the 911 page might help, too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_911 If you're familiar with BMWs, it's no different than when people talk about different 3 series models as e30, e36, e46, e90, etc. I'm also not sure why Porsche rolled the numbers back to 991 for the current 911. Or, for that matter, why they jumped from 911 to 964 for MKII or even 930 for the original 911 Turbo. BMW moved from e-codes to f-codes. At the end of the day, they're just project numbers. -Eric
