Love the front of the new 997 but the back is a bit disappointing, just too slabby for my liking Love the front of the new 997 but the back is a bit disappointing, just too slabby for my liking, but the pictures I have seen of the new Turbo are really nice and the new fixed spoiler seems to break up the rear and makes the car look at lot better. What do you lot think?
I was just wondering if anyone in 2043 will be online at a website looking for a microchip for a 2006 Classic Porsche 997?

Spoiler will lift at speed a la 996 TT.

If you think the new turbo looks nice, you should take a look at the new GT3! That car really does look the part.

It's strange that the arse of the 997 is getting so long now that it looks like a SWB!

Now maybe Porsche should consider a more retro option...

I like it with the Fuchs.
I'm probably the only guy not to be exited by this car. It just doesn't look that different.
When you look at proper flared arch turbo from days gone by it looked so dramatic. This has no drama.. well in the pics at least.
Ok I'll get my flat cap and go back to my shed.. young uns with there plastic cars! Humbug!

You see? How hard is that to understand? Porsche! make Fuchs in the correct sizes & offsets for your modern cars, you flog thousands of 'em! (and do a closer rep. than Paul Stephens)
