Default As taken from Porsche sales brochure

" The 911 models are also the first full production Porsches to Inherit
the smooth underbody floor panels developed from the Le Mans winning
Porsche 956 and 962. These underbody panels optimise the airflow under the car,
at the same time as reducing lift through the benefits of ground effect technology."
Guess this once and for all answers the most asked question

Yeah, but do you believe everything you read in marketing material?

Actually - don't the car mags usually say Porsche is conservative at least as far as top speed / acceleration figures are concerned.

So it's probably the case that it doesn't just optimise airflow - it REALLY REALLY optimises airflow.

I should immediately refit mine!

So I guess you also believe the 996/997 has a dry sump setup... I mean, it is in the brochure


Thank you for getting the blood flowing...

Can you guys imagine what life would be like if Porsche hadn't put the "new and improved" undertrays on the 964s? What would we talk about on here?
