" The "new" 911 is not a 911 except in name.

as i thought...

" However, the car has *always* been known by two numbers.
" 
" One is the car name: 911.
" 
" The other is the "type".
" 
" For example, a 1989 Porsche 911 was a Type 964, while the 1994 Porsche  
" 911 was a Type 993.
" 
" This dual-number scheme has been true I believe from the first 911  
" model.

this could be true, but i was under the impression that the original
911 and the 914, 924, 928, and 944 [a re-engined 924] were model and
type synonymous.
