 Porsche 996 With a 997 Make-Over - RSportsCars.com
When the new 996 generation of the Porsche 911 made its public debut in 1997, a murmur went through the 911 crowd.
In terms of the front design, however, even Porsche itself recently admitted to having made a grave mistake with the 997 it subsequently released.
This is without a doubt the cheaper alternative to buying the 997 and consists of an entirely new front spoiler bumper, two fenders with a racing fuel tank cap, plus an original Porsche parts kit including complete lighting units and headlamps (for vehicles with or without “Litronic”).

 Porsche 997

Compared to its predecessor, the 997 is a bit heavier with 25 kg more taking the total weight up to 1,395kg although this isn´t noticeable when driving.

 Porsche 911 - CarSpace Automotive Forums
And, while Porsche's version of that crappy (IMHO) transmission design was better than most, you can't claim that it was anything less than offensive to someone who wants direct control and crisp performance.
If I recall my Porsche history correctly, the 928 was indeed intended to replace the 911, as Porsche was anticipating problems in getting an aircooled motor to meet the pollution standards of the day.
The great thing about a Porsche 911 type is that if you buy it new or slightly used and take really good care of it, it will be running years---decades---after every Ferrari or Corvette or other "supercar" has either gone to the breaker or to the restoration shop for a resurrection.
