Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The GT3 was so perfect I didn't want to mod or change anything.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

I'm always playing with the idea of buying a second car (MK1 aero) and know many of you own two 996s already. Has anybody in our group gone 996 acquisition crazy - like 4 or more? Or completed a model year lineup, like Magnus Walker, where they have every year from 1999-2005?
Not sure I agree....I have had a 991 GT3 for a year....no question the car is perfect (except mine was a smoker and I didn't trust its longevity). And I have driven both the GT3 and my 996 on the track. And guess what I still have my 996 (granted its just one of many in my stable). But it is my favorite car. Why? Because it isn't perfect! The GT3 was so perfect I didn't want to mod or change anything. I have said this before, the 996 is a wonderful canvas to build your own flavor....they are low cost so you don't mind taking risks with mods. I love that about the car. And the 996.1 doesn't have all of the stability stuff...so its nice blend of old and new. My favorite forum is 996 because I love seeing how everyone is fixing the perceived flaws...headlights, IMS, jelly bean body, lack of power, quirky interior, boxster-ish look, etc. That is why its the only car I would own more than one of. In addition, I also find its the youngest crowd of people...maybe that is because they are still at the beginning of their careers...but I find I'd rather hang out with the innovative kids who have financial constraints and making their money go further than the old geezers like myself who just throw money at everything, Quite refreshing really.
I love the 996 and its fans...Call me crazy.
You're crazy. But I am too
I always enjoy reading your takes, lowpue, because you seem to have a very grounded and rational perspective. Oh, and you make me feel good about my car - of which I have only one
Go to the Land Rover Disco II forums. Multiple people own 4 or more of their beloved Disco II. That car is as additive (if not more) than the 996. I don�t think even Corvette people own 4+ of the same C6 or whatever. They own C5 + C6 + C7, etc...
I only own 2.
A 1999 Areo 6 speed, black on black (that is getting ready to go up for sale by the way...)
And an 2001 Turbo 6 speed with a fair amount of mods.
Lol exactly! Proof: wrenched at an indy Rover specialist. Owner bought every totaled Rover model he could, saved customers a fortune, and made a fortune, and infinite job security.
