This is not a probability of success.

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.

Well after 30 years of dreaming I finally picked up a new 996 C2 last week. I owned a new 924 about 20 years ago that I enjoyed but this is obviously in a totally different class. My wife keeps saying she has never seen me so happy. Here's the list for the car, any comments or suggestions are welcome. I've spent a lot of time going through the discussions posted and you guys are great! What a wealth of knowledge, thanks for sharing and I'll look forward to participating.

Drive on!

Did the advanced technic package unclude bi-xenon lights? If not be nice to add later. Sounds like a great car indeed. Anyway if it's Porsche-it's A ok with me : ). Congrats. Mike
Thanks for the nice message, yes the technic package did include the upgraded lights. Here's a link to a pic, my apologies for the size I need to make it a bit smaller.

Congratulations! I have a 2000 C2 6-speed and love it. I've recently test driven my friends' E46 M3 and SLK32 AMG and can say that the 911 is much more enjoyable to drive. Despite having similar numbers on paper, the 911 feels faster, sounds better, and is a blast to take around corners. The shifter is perfect.
