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

For those of you that own them, do people ask you this question? Do you find it annoying? Have you considered changing the badge? I personally will not change the badge but...

POST 2Original post

Not yet, but should someone ask I will reply, "No it's actually a rotary engine, in the tradition of Felix Wankel."

POST 3Original post

Ha! That must mean my plain old Carrera has NO cylinders!

POST 5Original post

Tha mean the old 964's that were badged Carrera 2 are 2 cyls?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I geuss it is not as bad as owning a Boxster when a lot of people would say 'nice miata'. It must have to do with living in a redneck zone.

POST 8Original post

I would just say Yeah..... That way the next time they are at the party being the expert... they will look like an ***.

POST 9Original post

Totally I saw a really nice Porsche, the guy is kind of a friend.... anyway its a C4 with a bad *** 4 cylinder... sounds great ...... he told me

POST 10Original post

I used to get..."you have the poor mans porsche"(944).

POST 11Original post

So I guess a plain old "Carerra" has no engine? Since C4 = 4 cylinder C2 = 2 cylinder C = nada Glad my PO put the 40th anniversary badge with just a simple "911" on my car. That means it has 911 horsepower!

POST 12Original post

when people ask me what the 4S means, i says its "4 Snow"

POST 13Original post

That I like...but that must be the 4th version of Cabriolets or is it Carrera cars..?

POST 14Original post

I figure you got a few options here for the non-knowing: Tell them it means either, 1. it has a 400ci engine or 2. it has 4 turbo's. 3. You also own a Carrera 1, 2, 3 and this car is #4.. LOL

POST 15Original post

In my old 968 I used to get, 'Is that the new Porsche?" "Uhhh... yeah" (and walk away quickly)

POST 16Original post

I've never had anyone ask me that. But, most are surprised when I tell them it's AWD.

POST 17Original post

My C4S has cylinders? I opened the hood and there was no engine at all!

POST 18Original post

i get that all the time. "really, they make all wheel drive 911s?"

POST 19Original post

Talk about confusion, try Carrera4S. Yeah I tell them that the GT2 only has 2 cyclinders and the GT3 is a little better because it has 3 cyclinders. My car is so much better because it has 4 cylinders and an S to boot. So then they ask "then the Carrera GT only has one cylinder? I say yes, but it's a 2 stroke motor.

POST 20Original post

I always thought that the 4 was the number of car lengths it would lag behind a 2.

POST 21Original post

Funniest thing I've experienced was a couple of guys that were from the sticks that thought Carrerra was "Cammerra".. The son looks at his Dad and says "Daddy, I ain't never seen a Cammerra (Camaro) look like that before, have you?" They also have a guard Rooster at their shop and never lock it... The joys of living in the country...

POST 22Original post

Be nice to them. Some guys on here might have some stuff to sell those question askers at a later date. In the words of another just say, I'll get back to you with an answer to that on a later date Nice avatar man hehehe

POST 23Original post

Quotes source post: 7238212

I thought that meant it had nine hundred and eleven cylinders? Oh man, now I'm totally confused.

POST 24Original post

I hear this all the time at the dealership (not particularly Porsches but in general) : "Does that have a V-6 or V-4 in it?" or "No, mine's not a V-6...it's a V-4"
