no, you're mixing up chassis number and VIN number...
the AA2 in the VIN denotes your car to be a US car. remember - there's a difference between the number on the battery tray, and the VIN on the car.

from that site:
WP0 - Porsche CB2 - I'm guessing means Cab with a driver and passenger airbag. 94 - first two digits that designates 944 7 - test number L - 1990 model year N - Produced in Neckarsulm 4 - Denotes last digit in 944 8 - Body/engine code 0800 - car 800 that was produced. the only thing different on the site was the CB, which I'm guessing means Cab. you've got 10 carfax reports.. might be worth going to check out

I dont think so... the best I could tell from what anyone has ever said, it's more or less a place holder...
