I knew some one would be in the gutter when they read this. HAHA! Personally, any 930 would do, specially a 934.

at the risk of annoying some people, for me air cooled targas with any tails look a little weird

To me the aesthetic of the tail is partially dependant on the size of the rear fenders and the cars color. A "turbo" tail looks awfull on a narrow fendered car. Overkill. I had a duck on my SC and loved it. I think the '84-89 Carerra tail (like the pre intercooled turbo tail) to provide a nice balance and looks good too. Then again, no tail can look just as mean!. Ah.. nothing like the "little" things to worry about.

Go DUCK!

I like the clean look of a 911 without a tail! If I had a track car I would have a huge tail for performance reasons. On the other hand an old RS with a ducktail is still COOL!

There is a 78SC in the classifieds for sale posted a several days ago with a unique looking tail. I prefer no tail myself but the one on the 78 is clean looking.

I puchased mine with an aftermarket tail attached. I had thought about removing it, but women are drawn to the car like it was a magnet. Tail stays.

BTW I was given an address today by a woman who wrote ''48 D''. I had to laugh.

All 911 Turbo tails from the 1975 930 to the current 997 TT. It's design fulfilling function.

My car came with an obnoxious aftermarket tail but I never get addresses. Anyone have the number for Hair Club for Men?

For me.....it isn't a tail if it doesn't quack

i'm curious. do you guys who have changed tails feel a big difference in handling at extremes?
do whales feel better than ducks? (sounds weird) :-D

I haven't noticed a difference over the years. At high speed you are more likely to notice suspension short comings than aero ones. How many 100+mph corners do you drive through?

Somewhere is a graph showing the aero benefit of the tails, all shown on one graph. IIRC, it isin't till about 100-110mph that the "carerra/early turbo" and "turbo (w/ intercooler)" tails show a significant advantage in reducing lift than the duck. Since my car topped out at about 137 (per the factory manual and gearing) I ignored the aero benefit for the wieght benefit (lightness) of the duck tail.
