I'm sure its PAG way of suggesting that PCA and DE in general run with windows up ...

Now if only ppl can agree on which way to signal a pass...lol

Wished that wing was taller.

A swan neck would make sense. If they kept the wing the same size, angle, and position, just going to a swan neck mount would increase efficiency.

Welcome to "Murica"...love my country but there are some real dumb azz rules for DE over here with the mentality of..."we've been doing it this way for 30 years" attitude.

992 GT3 = Geneva 2020 (my belief based on history - 997.1, 997.2, 991.1, 991.2 GT3 all introduced at Geneva, as well as 991.1 GT3 and 911R, among other variants); it also fits the typical product introduction cycle timeline (e.g., 991.2 Carrera introduced fall of 2015; 991.2 GT3 introduced Geneva 2017)

Yea.


I wonder if there's any data anywhere that shows injury/death where windows down vs. up make a difference. ROW data included.

I'm fairly low maintenance. It is what it is but my countrymen have really let me down on the window down cavitation. I kid you not, with all the windows down in my Lincoln Towncar or my 1996 Chevy Impala on the highway/freeway at 80mph ... It's relatively calm. You can carry on a conversation. Also, just for fun I was driving my friends 2006 Ford GT this weekend. At 90 mph with both windows down it was downright peaceful inside the cabin.

Come on Stuttgart. Just give me a SportDesign mirror with some engineering included. Shouldn't have to screw an overpriced tiny piece of carbon fiber or kitchen cabinet plastic just to door/mirror just to eliminate this wind issue. Ha ha.

Made the same reflexion to myself some weeks ago they looks like swan neck hidden behind those proto camouflage parts so I concour with OP.

Obviously the wing can't be as busy as what the camo shows now

As with the front and rear bumpers that wing clearly has some plastic cladding to camouflage the final design. The mounts are not going to look like that.

Would make no sense to have that much material below a top-mounted wing either.
