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.

In it Porsche personnel claim the new motor is superior to the old GT1 based unit used in the GT3. They also claim the oiling system is superior to the dry sumped motor and no more RMS failures. Sounds pretty good.
What do you think?
I think 10 years to get it right is 10 years too long, personally, but I'm glad they are stepping up the specific output at last. I went through this exercise last year, of comparing 997 to 996 and just not feeling any real world improvement to acceleration. And I'm sure eventually I'll get over the ugly taillights!
I would love to see the same improvements to output and fitting a PDK to cayman S down the line, I think that would be very fun too.
BTW that simulator video is just awesome
I have to agree there....I was thinking the MKII 997 would be the easy choice for me in a few years...except they blew it on the tailights imo....they were so close.
I think you maded an Enzo.

Probably news to some on this forum though.
nothing personal guys, but it sounds like typical Porsche marketing BS to me. I'll bet someone a good belgian beer that the GT-1 block will still be used in GT3/turbos and the "new and improved" M96 will be that: another improvement on a flawed original design.
i don't like the tailight... looks like a z3 tailight......to BMWish........engine sounds promising, the steering wheel looks great, but does that guy whoese driving the 911 looks really small.....?
That should be obvious.

The M96 is a lot cheaper to produce. If Porsche can fix the weaknesses and make it as good or better than the old GT1 it's a win-win for the customer and for Porsche.
Time will tell if there is substance to the claim, but it sounds promising.
Turbo + Direct Injection + More Boost (Chip) can be a very nice thing indeed, regardless of whether or not it's the GT1 or this new one, I can't wait to see what the Direct Injection does to the turbo and GT2, whenever that eventually happens
totally agree, Porsche messed up on this. First noticed this on the Cayenne. Guess Porsche is getting to be the all the other car companies. Changing things that don't need to be changed and add no value add all.
PDK steering wheel sucks. Hopefully there will be an after market wheel to go to the true F1 style paddle shifters.
