Default Front overhang dimensions

In my pursuit of a 991.1 turbo I thought about the overhang today as I backed my existing Corvette in the driveway. I have a slight dip and occasionally scrap the plastic guard underneath. Now obviously the FE corvette has a relatively long nose, so I would think the 911 would be less likely to scrap in the same spot but I’m unsure. Does anyone have real comparison between the two? Or does anyone know the front overhang dimension? Length wise they are very similar, wheelbase the corvette is a bit longer. Any help would be great, thanks.

Does anyone have overhang info? Or could someone measure from front center of wheel to roughly front of front bumper? That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I don’t have the overhang measurements but our 991 TTS have retractable front spoilers. I have never really heard of anyone having issues.

And 991.2 can be optioned with front axle lift if you plan on lowering the car

Which is good news. On the Z06 the CF front spoiler sticks out a lot and really extends the overhang, it’s close to scraping all the time.

991.1 TTS here. From the center of the front wheel (center of the hub projected to the floor) to the very front tip of the front bumper (as projected to the floor) it is 39" give or take.

I have some of each, the corvette will scrap before the Porsche, and if you find a porsche with front end lift (like I did) you will never have an issue

My Zo6 scraped somewhere every day. My TTS without FAL has never scraped.

thank you, that was my likely guess, trying find one with it but usually out my budget.

Should've said to the tip of the front BUMPER, not fender. My original post corrected too.
