Later Porsche acknowledged the 996 was only a transitional vehicle and deviated from the true spirit of the 911.The 997 is the true 911. WTF?????




When and where did Porsche say that Nick?
Do you have a copy of the article please?
It would indeed be outrageous. I've never heard that before but would be extremely disappointed.



Francoise, the retired head engineer for the 996 acknowledged that the 996 was cobbled together to deal with cost issue and deviated from the usual hardcore driveability of the 911. He claimed because Porsche got over the financial hump the 997 was more in the spirit of the Porsche 911.





Getting OT here,
Please don't take this personally Nick, you're not the only one. Rossi, Zz, etc. have also made the mistake.
If you want to use my real name (I'd prefer my username though on the forum) it's Francois!!!
No S, Francoise is the chick's name in France.
I hope all Francophones feel my pain here.
I know my car is a Cabriolet, but I promise you, I am not gay! Ask Ron!
