Hi all, When downloading the Konrad Porsche 911 GT2 from Blackhole Motorsport, I instead get the Porsche 993. Am I missing something, or is this a mistake? Zen

Am I missing something, or is this a mistake? It's not a mistake. The older 911 is a 993, the current 911 is a 996. It's just a number that describes the generation. - JKo -

I always thought it was a American - European thing. In that Americans consider a 911 as a the only "real" Porsche. So for marketing reasons every iteration is still called 911. Where as in Europe they aren't infatuated with the 911 tag so each new generation gets a new number 959; 993; 996 etc. OT: All the Porsches (up to the Boxter) are numbered 9** even the racing cars; 907, 914, 917; 959; 962 etc. They're at 996, what the hell are they going to do in four cars???
