A friend of mine is looking for a nice 996 to purchase. Apologies if this is something that has been mentioned many times over but what are the updates for the 996 C2 for 98,99 and 00? He is currently looking at a sweet 99 996 C2 6 speed with TC. Is TC an optional extra? Is it any good? What is the difference between TC and PSM? As always, thank you in advance for all help rendered. <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

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.

There have been many articles and posts about these changes. I think the best source is Excellence Magazine where Bruce Anderson reviews the 996, and I think this was done in the past 2 or 3 months.
"99" had Traction Control (Posi traction mechanical rear Differential) "00" and on has PSM(Porsche Stability Management). Computer controls wheels spin with the ABS system. Greay for street and normal driving, sort of sucks on the track. I like Traction Control but its no longer available.
