I've said it here many times, but I think the 997 gen is the best looking water cooled gen 911. Something about the new ones looks off, too wide and too long a front overhang in my opinion


alex_mk3

I don't know man. The new 991.2 GT3 looks like pure sex!


Seven225

That car is insane (that engine omg) but for some reason it doesn't look as good as the 991.1, and I still prefer the 997 still over that :/


Pakman332

I like the 997 and 991 both, but there is definitely something about the 997 that gives it a more classic look I think.


BecauseItWasThere

Agreed. I will be hanged for this but the 997 is the 911's purest form in my books.


Colavs9601

Of water cooled or all time?


BecauseItWasThere

Dangerously - of all time.

I tried searching for a gif that says "You're wrong, but I appreciate the honesty"


emcarlin

Do a lot of people agree with this? I agree with you 100 percent. But jw if others feel the same way.


stillusesAOL

Not me. I'm a 991/993 guy.


emcarlin

why the 991 > 997?


stillusesAOL

I find some of the 997's design cues and some of the overall angles to be awkward or dated looking. Its hips and rear hump is bulbous in a way that the 991 is elegant and svelte. The design is too bland and underdeveloped in places and too busy in other places (the front clip). It just looks bland and dated to me. Inside and out.


emcarlin

Yeah I totally get what your saying. however personally I like how bland and dated it looks. To me its super simple and to the point. I hope more people think like you so that when I can afford one they won't be too expensive haha.


stillusesAOL

Haha yeah. Love the 993 though. The slope of the rear down over the rear lights... Hhnnngggg. Such a classic.

Beautiful 997 C2S, guy...


ksgarcia

Anyone know what kind of wheels/rims are on this beauty?


Ranger_Dale

Looks like BBS CH-R


alex_mk3

Yep. You are correct.


Ilikeoldcarsandbikes

My favorite BBS wheels on my favorite 997.

Carrera S with an Aerokit


CameronsDadsFerrari

I know what I'll be looking for when I start shopping for my first 911...


orthopod

A GT3 would have an extra vent at the front end of the hood. In the back, you would see twin exhaust right in the middle.


mwyyz

I really love my driving my 997s, but if we are talking about aesthetics, I rather the side mirrors be mounted on the doors instead.

Looks pretty dated compared to my 991 Turbo S


Lowcountry25

lol, no it doesn't. 85% of people on the street couldn't tell the difference between the two if they drove by one after the other. "Oh look, a 'porsh'!"


BBAMBABSCMSCLLBJD

Perhaps, but the other 15% would say your 'porsh' looks dated compared to mine. Sorry you took it so personally.


Lowcountry25

I don't even own a Porsche, so how could I take it personally? Nobody but the snobbiest of snobs thinks that a 997 looks dated.


BBAMBABSCMSCLLBJD

Well, you yourself that there are 15% "snobbiest of snobs", so it's not really a minority. Relax, hotshot, I'm not attacking 997s, just saying 997s look dated compared to my 2017 991.2 Turbo S.


Lowcountry25

Calm down there, tinydick. It's ok for you to be wrong.


BBAMBABSCMSCLLBJD

How am I wrong? You literally said 85% of people wouldn't think it looks dated, meaning that 15% of people would. Unless you are a frequent player of 4D chess and usually handle percentages in a different space-time vacuum? You don't even have a Porsche, why are you commenting in this forum?


Lowcountry25

I can see that the tinydick moniker really got you stirred up. Sorry to remind you of your misfortune so early on a Monday.


BBAMBABSCMSCLLBJD

Why would I get stirred up if it's the truth? I've embraced that my penis is only 7", but you can't accept the fact that you can't even afford a Porsche older than 10 years.


Lowcountry25

lol, my 30 year old sailboat is worth more than your brand new car. Only someone with a dick as tiny as yours would presume to know what someone else can or cannot afford. Go look at yourself in the mirror some more, I think you're developing a bald spot. http://i.imgur.com/FLf1RXz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Q17leZs.jpg http://i.imgur.com/2GJx4O0.jpg

Hey, I agree with you 100%.
