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.

The Rennlist home page effectively categorizes different models Porsche has sold, making it easy for forum users to find the model(s) they're most interested in.
However, the home page is inconsistent in that it refers to some cars by their model as marketed (e.g., 356 or 968) and others by their internal designation (e.g., 996 or 987). Among other things, the designation "911" in the water cooled section has been completely subordinated to internal designation numbers.
I propose that the home page be made consistent by referencing the model number/name used by Porsche in marketing their cars. Therefore, designations like 987, 993, 964, 996, etc. would be discontinued.
In their place, here are some examples to illustrate how this proposal could be implemented:
"1995-98 911" be used in place of "993"
"1999-2004 911" be used in place of "996"
"2005-current 911" be used in place of "997"
"1997-2004 Boxster" be used in place of 986
I never refer to my 911 as a 996. To me, it's a '99 911. I consider my car to be a direct descendent of the 911 introduced in 1963. The 911 is a great name...I thank Porsche for continuing to use it as the model designation for over 40 years.
I like the internal designations as it makes it easier. Those that don't know what year = what internal designation need to ramp up their knowledge base imo.
I think we should have forums segerated by the exterior color of the car. That way if you are interested in white, you can go to the white forum. No confusing numbers, no separation of the variants (i.e. C2, C4, Targa ,Turbo, GT2/3), just colors!

introduced in 1963. The 901 is a great name...I thank Porsche for continuing to use it as the model designation for over 40 years."
Fixed it for you
Ok so so I have a 2003 901
I vote leave it the way it is..... i like saying 996, besides its at the beg of the part numbers. "996" is way easier than saying "my 911 that was made in two thousand one"
Both! At least IB makes a final decision on how to remane our Forum titles.
BTW, do you think we need a separate "color" forum for Cobweb Gray, or can we just put in with the other gray cars?
So if we use internal numbers around here - how come the Boxster set are not listed under 986? And the Cayenne, Cayman and Panamera set have 'names' not internal project numbers. Are these people too slow to figure out where to go and have to be told their 'public' names instead.?
Actually there is a 986 forum, it's called Boxster (986) not just 986. As far as the Pepper and Croc, they really aren't the same naming lexicon that people use for the rest.
If you think about it, it makes sense. Enthusiasts refer to a 99-04 Carrera as a 996 but refer to ANY croc or pepper by their name plate.
Just go to any enthusiast forums and it's the same, The BMW guys have all the E36..E39..blah blah, Audi has B5, B6 C6..etc.... Corvette had the C1-C6 generations .... you get the idea
I know, I'm preaching to the choir here
