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 doubt it. Buy "By Design" has starting marketing an aftermarket Turbo Carbiolet, built from the straight 996 cabriolet frame. You can see a picture of it on the cover of this months duPont registry.
POST 3Original post
At this time, Porsche has no plans to build either a Cabriolet C4S or Turbo, although there are actually deposits in place for them in case of the off chance that they surprise us. Stewart Howe Pacific Porsche 310 / 891-2100

Wow. Deposits for cars that may never be made. Talk about low ROI and betting on a long shot. Or, I'd like to have that much money.

Well, in my experience, PAG always seem to go against immediate expectation then retract at a later date. When I first purchased a 2.5ltr Boxster, I heard rumours of the 986 S at the time back in 1998 however my local dealer denied all knowledge and claimed such a car would not make sense and PAG WOULD NEVER BUILD A BOXSTER WITH PERFORMANCE that could undermine its flagship model - 996.........hmmmmmmmm. So I settled for the STD 2.5ltr instead of shifting my deposit. Well the 986 S did come out and performance was not far off a 996 Cab (C" or C4). I have reservations about the usual PAG attitude - deny now admit later. The fact is they just cannot make enough cars because of increased market appeal. I was reading about BMW being in the same predicament with their M3 Coupes & cabs � i.e. inability to meet demands. I am again at the crossroads of upgrading from my current �99 C2 Cab to an �02 C2 or C4 only to find that the waiting list is 12mths � what a bum! The few �02 Cabs available are selling at premiums with specs I do not want � like cup holders & folding mirrors! I have pressurised my local dealer about a C4S Cab or a TT Cab and on this occasion he comments �PAG would not release a product that would further lengthen the waiting-list�. Point taken however IF BMW, Mercs and Fez can produce Coupes & Cabs in varying engine sizes & specs, why can�t PAG do the same? After all, the TT is supposed to be a direct competition to an F360 Modena and the forth coming Mercs SL � both come in a cab or Coupe...hmmmmmmmm Moan, moan, moan moan moan����.and more moans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just my 2 cents worth.

Porsche's US mfg figures for 2002 are: C4S-1668 Cab-3605 C4Cab-1438 I don't see how Porsche would get a great ROI by designing an "S" Cab. They didn't with the 993 before the changeover to 996, and with a supposed changeover in 05, it's probably not worth their time and expense. Given that logic, Porsche will probably do it. <img src="graemlins/icon501.gif" border="0" alt="[icon501]" /> <img src="graemlins/icon501.gif" border="0" alt="[icon501]" />

Don, You are probably right on the ROI and possible model changeover in '05. I did find this picture though on Flat6.net. Apparently it is a TechArt offering - YES a TT Cab!
