Default and the final 911 icon is...

Ah. Ah. Not so soon….Before the upcoming public unveiling of the final 911 icon next weekend…I am going to have a quess-who thread for this series. So far we have had

Icon 1: Fuchs wheels
Icon 2: Headlights
Icon 3: Porsche crest
Icon 4: Instrument panel
Icon 5: Targa roof
Icon 6: Whale tail
Icon 7: Red rear reflector
Icon 8: Flat six wail and raspy crescendo.
Icon 9: Miscellaneous ( Carrera script, Impact bumper, flared wheel arches,
pedal lay-out, the door and the scent)

Icon 10: ???? ....type in your answer (ONLY ONE GUESS IS ALLOWED)


My sincere request: Everyone who clicks on this thread pleeeease chime in with an answer. It is you members that have made all the hard work put in for this series worth the effort. I would hate to see 500 views and just 10 posts from my usual gang. C’mon show your 911 some love.

The answer will be revealed in a week from now. That way all the members would have had a chance to post their answer. Hmm...I'm excited to see the answers...this will separate the boys from the MEN

Oil leaks? Click sound of the door closing? Front scoop?

Rusnak: Sub icon 9E is the solid “clunk” sound of a 911 door. Oh forgot to mention the rules (now edited)...To be fair to all: ONLY ONE ANSWER IS ALLOWED ...I am loving it; The fun has already begun.

The interior smell.... A mix of oil, gas and leather...... Truly automotive and mechanical.

Ok I withdraw "door click" and "front scoop" in favor of oil leaks.

Scott..this is getting very disappointing. I thought all of you had read all my previous threads on the icon series. Sub-Icon 9F is THE SCENT of a hot air-cooled engine... mix of oil, gas and leather. I demand another answer from you Scott

"The Wave"

...from one 911 owner to another that conveys the shared love and appreciation of owning such a wonderful iconic automobile. That one small gesture that says so much about being a part of something special, of being part of an exclusive club per se, of an unspoken understanding between two Porsche enthusiasts.

Yep. I vote for "the wave".

One clue for all of you giving out an answer. The icon # 10 is different from icons that have already been listed...and it is not the headlights (which is icon # 2).

Similar to G50s answer above, but you said it was different than the other physical icons listed, so I'll say the brotherhood that you become part of when driving a 911. The same one that let's a 993 guy post here.


Quick Reply: and the final 911 icon is...
