996 or 997

Hello to all. As a newbie, I need all the help I can get. I have a 2005 Turbo Cab coming soon. Some things I have read said it is a 996 and one article I read said the switchover for the turbos happened during model year 2005. I don't really know if mine is 996 or 997. Most everything I have seen point to a 996! Anyone. Thank you, will post pics as soon as it gets here.

it is definitely the 996 model,the 997 didnt come out until 2007, but you were able to buy them in late 2006. Still in all the 996 is still a fast a$$ car, the porsche turbo is still a turbo, no denying that. The performance and handling is superb. Of course the new turbo's (997's) are a little faster then the 996's, but at the end of the day go with what makes you happy.
p.s please send detail and pics when you get a sec....
