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.

Suggestion

I've never driven a 996 GT3 -- I'm certain it's awesome and isn't a parallel to those early "s" cars, but it's interesting to see a base C2 is faster to 60 (at least reportedly in that Autocar test) than a GT3.

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.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

I'd like to find the Autocar article he mentions here: . The 3.4-litre engine is just fab-u-lous darling, mixing torque and revs to produce a more than adequate 300bhp. Many hot hatches have that sort of power these days, but they don’t have the soundtrack. It’s still fast, achieving 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and going on to near-as-dammit 180mph. In fact, as Autocar discovered, a Carrera C2 will pip a 996 GT3 to 60mph and be right with it to 100mph, each getting there in 10.9sec. Sure, the GT3 Mezger engine has an extra 60bhp, but an additional 30kg and drag-generating aero kit works against it. . It reminds me of back in the day when Car & Driver tested the 911t, 911e, and 911s models, and the "e" was faster than the "s" 0-60. That was my exact experience having driven many of those early cars -- the "e" was amazing and the "s" was just not fun to drive at all for street driving because it didn't have any low end torque. I've never driven a 996 GT3 -- I'm certain it's awesome and isn't a parallel to those early "s" cars, but it's interesting to see a base C2 is faster to 60 (at least reportedly in that Autocar test) than a GT3.

Didnt hurt that the gearing options were way more available with the Earlier air cooled cars.. Especially Pre-80's.
