The 991RS has a far more intimidating presence. It exudes "supercar".

We took the opportunity to take a photo of the two cars and my 997 RS. The size difference between the two cars is crazy! the 991's look HUGE next to the little 997.

Here are a few pics. His GT Silver with black wheels looks awesome! Fantastic color.









We then went for a little ride... the harmonics between the two cars was nothing short of amazing. My son was giggling the whole time!!!


Awesome Pic! You captured our cars perfectly. Thank you again for the help on the SW xpipe! And even more for those damn stubborn tips!

Its not the camera...when I park that RS next to my .2 GT3...everything just looks smaller on the .2. And my 997.1Carrera...it just looks petite.

Its about time we go for another tandem drive with these things!

As great as the 991 is (especially the 991 GT3 RS), I think the 997 is the most beautiful 911 series ever made.

You know what they say about "beauty"?

1RS's calling card is its visual presence. The car positively looks the sh_ts and arguably looks better than it drives.

Next to the 7RS, 7 looks plain.

Next to 6RS, 6 looks like a baby car. Small, simple, almost dull, despite the latter's crazy graphics.

Next to 3RS, 3 looks positively like a page from the Flintstones...

This^ I think the 991gt3 is the best looking GT car Porsche ever made. 997rs looks way better than the 991rs because of the hideous side intakes on the and all the plastic. Good thing is you don't see much of it behind the wheel.
