Suggestion
The 996's system is also the 3rd (964 and 993) generation (4th if you include the 959), so it's not like it was their first attempt and the major design change happened from the 964 to the 993.
Leading evidence: 'Replace happened' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace happened' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
If you, instead, know how to use the additional traction to your advantage and are aware of where the under steer kicks in, it has some distinct advantages over the normal RWD car but also has some distinct disadvantages too.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Isn't that what the fog lights are for
At least in my area the fog wasn't close to the "not safe to drive" level (nothing worse that running into a surprise fog bank on the Blue Ridge Parkway that reduced visibility to 10 feet or less
).
The "4" is an extra $10,000.00 in Porsche's bank account and NOT very much else. You need a late model 997 before you get a somewhat functional "4" for that TEN GRAND.
Is this a bad attempt at a joke or do you just not know anything about Porsche's AWD system?
First of all, the AWD system in the 996 is not just a status symbol as you imply. It is a very capable system and does it's job exceptionally well. Secondly, like most things, while subsequent generations have continued to improve it, the 997's version was about minor changes (just like the rest of the car) and not something revolutionary. So we are only talking about fractions of a second improvements in detecting traction differences and transferring the power. The 996's system is also the 3rd (964 and 993) generation (4th if you include the 959), so it's not like it was their first attempt and the major design change happened from the 964 to the 993.
If you utilize the AWD system for the purposes it was built, it shows itself as a very good system and is on par with the Quattro (the real one, not the Haldex POS that is in most of the Audis today) and xDrive systems in the realm of performance focused AWD systems. If you don't understand the purpose of such a system and instead try to drive it like a RWD car, you will be sorely disappointed. If you, instead, know how to use the additional traction to your advantage and are aware of where the under steer kicks in, it has some distinct advantages over the normal RWD car but also has some distinct disadvantages too.
Porsche does not take the system lightly either (or think of it as simply a cash cow) as they put the AWD cars through additional environmental and performance tests that the RWD cars don't see. Raise them and add the under carriage guards and they are quite capable and competitive in off road courses.
