I get the GT2, and the rear end is the best rear end of the 911s. But it's like having Heidi Klums body and Oprah Winfrey's face. The whole front end is an ugly design disaster. Panels all over the show and a design that's dated poorly.

I think the 964 gets a real hard time but it bridges the modern and old 911s beautfully. They never should have dropped the raised lights and Ferry Porsche himself moaned at the change.

I have a 3.2 myself and though the bellows are a bit clumsy it's the shape EVERYONE thinks of when you say 911.

My two cents - flame away.
You're right....here's my previous 911, 996 and current 993. I just realized they're all ugly....thanks for clearing that up.

the 993 board does it all the time about the 996 ,997 and the Caymen.
I like the butt of the 993 but the nose screams Mitsubishi.

ah, the old two wrongs make a right argument: very mature. ok, well, as long as there is a precedent of other people being idiots on the forum i guess you should simply carry on :-)

Boy did I call this one ...so anybody got a broken car we can help with ? this is getting old... I'd be more than happy to spend the bandwidth helping someone with their car or a project.

this thread was not started "in fun." this thread was started by someone in the interest of saying how ugly 993s are. i then asked the author of this thread why he was picking a fight (with 993 owners) --and you defended him by say two wrongs make a right (the old tried and true 3rd grade approach). you, my friend, are the one who needs to get a grip :-)

Okay guys lets take it down a notch, this forum has a reputation for being a good one with no bashing ( although we do tend to poke fun at each other occasionally.) I think the overall consenus is that 993s ar NOT ugly and more people on this forum defended the 993 if you read it over. Too bad no one has the power to end this thread so we can move on ...

and before some comes on and says " who are you the forum police.... ? " Keep n mind Us Canadians are peace keepers .. that's what we do best ..... ..oh that and make good beer...

I'll second that. Let's agree to disagree. This is after all a 911 forum.
And for what it's worth, I'm cool with the 993s.

Everyone's point has been made, this thread has gotten usless and out of hand, people are bickering over each others taste, as the say in the art world, when it comes to taste, there is no regard, I think its time for this



Cheers to being able to have our own opinions, despite what others might think....
