How Long Does It Take For Porsche To Build a 996/997

As far as I know they are made by hand on a small mountain top in Germany. After each one is built they ring a giant bell on top of the mountain and pull it down by donkey to the local village where they celebrate all through the night with dance, song and plenty o' stein filled with hops.

After the festivities a local priest blesses each one on its journey to it's new home, and it's loaded into a giant sheepskin lined case and sent to America for a new start.

I believe this whole process takes about a year for each car... I'm trying to verify this.

You forgot the part about the Lady of the Lake anointing each new Porsche by laying the shining blade of Excalibur upon its hood crest.

According to the air cooled owners...about 17 minutes for each water cooled Porsche.

If you watch the Ultimate factories show on National Geographic where they went throught the Stuttgart facility, they may have mentioned it on the program.

I think they LA dissemblers can take it apart in about 10 minutes, so I'd guess to put it together might take maybe 30 minutes or so.:cheers:
