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.

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.

Pretty soon, someone will post that MW needs a shave, haircut, clean clothes and a shower. Oh, and he's a terrible unsafe driver. Because Rennlisters love to judge other people.
6gt3 prices were already going up, the GT cars are in a different category than regular 996s and even Turbos due to sheer production volume. I doubt this has any direct impact on anything outside the 6gt3 market.
Maybe eventually, 996 valuations increase, but that'll only be when they become "vintage" and the hysteria around the IMSB subsides.
Probably selfish on my part, but I like the fact values of 996's are what they have been. It has allowed me to add a Porsche to my garage with out having to have a reluctant sale of another car to make a purchase possible.
I considered a 996 turbo because of the issues and reputation of the M96 engine. But instead I chose a decent '99 coupe with the intentions of an engine rebuild, then I would go through the suspension, brakes etc. as needed myself.
Presently the car is at Flat6 Innovations getting a 3.6 Stage 1 rebuild including the IMS Solution.
I welcome the criticism which has caused the undervaluation of these cars. They've given me a gift!
I also own an SRT6 Roadster, another undervalued car due to the same thought process of car snobs. This car has been the best bang for the buck purchase I've ever made!
Shhhhhh!!! Don't you know that Jake Raby doesn't do "rebuilds" and doesn't like the sound or connotation of that word? And, saying that word too much will cause him to open up a can of 50 cal. canon kick *** on some poor M96 engine in his back yard?
Ok, say this calmly.. "R e c o n s t r u c t i o n"
yay!
Magnus is cool; I'm glad he finally woke up and added a 996 GT3 to his fleet. (He probably saw me driving mine and said "sweet, I need me one of them")
I personal don't know Magnus, so I can't say if he's cool or a total dbag, however I enjoy watching his videos and his narration of the early 911 experience. I like his taste in vehicles although I believe he is lacking in personal hygiene amd grooming standards
In related news, Magnus Walker, Texas Ranger was cancelled after three episodes. It turns out that Chuck Norris with dreadlocks driving like a bat out of hell to various Cars & Coffee events meets the needs of no known demographic.
This is accurate. However, if you like Porsches and insist on referencing Magnus Walker more than twice a month - slam your testes repeatedly in the dishwasher door.
(changed to "twice" so I don't have to go visit the dishwasher door)
Mallet has done LS2 conversions on these cars. Their web site looks current, but not sure they are still being produced.

Rarity is one of the things I like about the SRT6 cars. Only 1252 Roadsters produced and about 3000 cars total. I've owned mine for over 7 years and never been in the presence of another one.
Yes you are correct. I'd enjoy seeing a Chevette at a show or a Cruise Night and talk about "What were they thinking?" It gets boring seeing the same"popular" stuff over and over....
Rare does not equal valuable, but often times has an interesting story/history behind it.
It was a shame that Pontiac got the ax - I was waiting for a call from a dealership when their first Solstice Coupes arrived. Obviously that call never came. The Solstice GXP was a fun car, but visibility for tall people was terrible.
When it was my wife's turn to take a test drive in a Solstice GXP, I took the sales guy aside and said, "FYI, my wife has won the women's amateur drift title for the past two years, so don't freak out if she starts getting the car sideways."
Total BS. The kid was terrified.
