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.

Take a good look at Carmona Red for your 997. It is very close to Arena Red. I like Arena as well. It was my first choice when I ordered the Orient Express, but was not available as a regular choice, so I went with Orient Red, which I have not regretted.
Here is a Cayenne in Carmona Red:
and a 996 in Arena Red:
FWIW, I think Carmona looks like dried blood. It's not anywhere as good as Arena. I got so many great comments about my Arena 993C4.
On the other hand, your Orient rocks!
Interesting observation. Do you know how the name "Arena Red" came about?
The color is based on the color of the sand in a Roman coliseum after a Gladiator match. The coliseums arena sand was red with the blood from the events of the day and days past.
Orient Red is interesting in that it color shifts depending on the angle and temperature of the light.
dell - I never kew you had arena red... looks great - but Orient red is growing on me...
I currently have black, which looks awesome when clean, but I will never own a black car again.

My 1999 Arena Red 996 C2 Coupe with Savannah Beige leather interior is on Ebay. Take a look... and if you know anyone looking for such a "great little car", let me know. (I bought a 2001 Arctic Silver Twin Turbo 6 speed with Grey supple leather interior on June 29th back in my old home town of Kansas City, MO.) Thanks... and have a great day!
Here's mine. We'll be selling it soon to make room for a Cayenne as the wife is 4 months pregnant! I put it up for sale a few months ago but turned down a few offers and decided to keep it until spring.
Beautiful color/car.
Although I only got a short look at the 2000 Arena Red/grey C4 w/aerokit I special ordered through Barrier Motors in Belleuve WA. SOB manager, still there, sold it without even calling to tell me it had arrived. Denied even having my deposit, told me there was nothing my attorney could do (true), returned my deposit via USPS about six weeks later.
Availability of C4 was rare at the time, I'm sure he sold it for a hefty preminum over what I was to pay.
