Cool, yes. Not a fan of the rocker panel at all though. It's funny, there's no shortage of WB/Turbo/RS/GT2 articles in the British Porsche mags. Bit not often do we see much on "standard" NB cars. And they picked one with a body kit.

It looks like a flatten pancake on this shot. Tell me that this pic doesn't look distorted to you?

All too rare to see a 993 as the dominant image on a recent magazine cover.
Thanks for sharing

yeah - a bit. Probably a wide-angle shot.

More due to the fact that it is a picture of a magazine cover, as opposed to a scan of the image.

Note the bend in the lettering and what should be straight lines

Looks flattened here too: http://pocketmags.com/viewmagazine.a...ame=October+14

I think it's a lens choice.

I would be more interested in the article on the WRC 997 entrant at the bottom of the cover. That is actually something quite newsworthy. How much can we learn from another "ultimate" guide on 993s?

Default Boxed Rockers
I had the same butt-ugly boxed rocker body kit on my 993. I don't mean to offend anyone who likes them, the prior owner obviously did, but I could not wait to get them off the car. It required a body shop and paintwork, and I was glad to pay for it.
