Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm back in the market to join the Porsche ranks. However, last time I was looking at a 993 C4 and I was just bit too tall. Since last Spring, prices for 2001 & 2002 996s have come down to where I could consider one. I'm looking to spend around 35K, maybe a little more if it's worth it. I have found 2 cars that I want to take a closer look at. - 2001 w/ 46K miles and the GT3 aero kit - 2002 (mileage unknown yet) The 2001 look GORGEOUS and is a couple grand cheaper, but I hear that the 2002 is a better car because of the variocam, meaning +20hp, broader powerband, driveability, fuel economy, and better response to ECU upgrades. I will be doing some research on this, but thought that some of you would share some thoughts on the subject. Thanks, Joe

POST 2Original post

When I changed my exhaust 10 days ago on my '00 Cab, I saw that it says VARIOCAM on the engine block of the 3.4L; if you check the ECU tuner pages (e.g. GIAC), then you'll also see that the 3.4L engine seams to response better to ECU "upgrades" than the 3.6L engine, so I'm not sure that you heard the right things.

POST 3Original post

Not sure about the ECU upgrades but the 2002 was a pretty big leap from the 2001. Stiffer chassis, more power, better aero, etc. etc.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just found the other thread on this subject... I'll look there. Thanks for the input.
