Suggestion
It would surprise me if Porsche didn't have some 997s here for testing too.
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.

I followed what must have been about seven different 997s today, driving down the 101. This means they're probably less than a year away from full production.
I saw the 997 Turbo, which seems to have quite different body panels compared to the other 997s, it's roofline and tail vary the most; C4S/C2S/C4Cab brings back that Jay Lo derri�re lost with the 996; C2/C4/ Cab narrow body look like the pictures... Then there was a narrow bodied Turbo - which could be the next GT3.
Damn! Why'd I leave the camera at home, today of all days??
Did they have camouflage or were they "clean"? What plates did they have on them? What support vehicles were there in the group? Were there any 997 competitors in the group?
Well, I have no real way of knowing what internal number Porsche are assigning their next 911, but what I saw was it; all were in camo, some black some blue. They were supported by 2 Cayennes and a Chevy Suburban... They had Georgia plates, and the only competition in the group was a Silver 996 C2.
PCNA is based in Atlanta, hence the Georgia plates.
I'll keep a close watch on the nearby Porsche Driving Experience. I live about 15 minutes away from the Barber track in Birmingham. It would surprise me if Porsche didn't have some 997s here for testing too.
I was in Los Angeles, driving the 101, took a huge detour to followed 'em from Sherman Oaks(101/405) to Venice(10). So, local photographers, if there's an official Porsche dealership in the Venice area, they maybe hiding out there...
