Frankly I wish they would decrease the length of the 911 and do some diet modifications instead.

I previously read that the 4 inch wheelbase increase was to offer more interior room and seating for four (4 real people); focking yuk, barf me with a freaking spoooon!!!

I do not care for more performance. I prefer keeping the car's traits.

... What I need to hear is Mr Porsche saying lighter, shorter, narrower -- not longer, bigger and more powerful. Are they "making room" for another model to cram in-between the Carrera and the Cayman? A baby 918 supercharged v6 with electric add-on coming in about the same HP, maybe down a little from the Carrera RS, but more than base model?
If they do want to grow as much as Porsche AG has said in the past year or so, they will likely segment the market more.

I want the next generation to be a smaller car that is at least a couple hundred lbs lighter and loses some of the electronic goodies (PSM and DSC). I would consider the recent lightening job on the Cayenne a good start for the 911.

I'm inching closer and closer to a 9m engine in a 993 ... or a Shark 3.9 in a 996 ... or ... in a 993? : )

Hi. Yeah. It's in my pre-nup: "until we're down to our bottom dollar, I don't sell the Jalopy." : ) I'm going to be buried in that one, I think. Then again, I wish I'd had the ***** to cut away the cob webs and write a check for Jochen's GT2. Coulda Woulda Shoulda. Every time I drive the 993, I get back in a 997 of some sort and feel like I've put on pants three sizes too big and tried to run 100 yard sprint. : )
