they should give out a tube of KY to 992 buyers...

Yawn. Shock horror- someone thinks the latest 911 isn't as good as the one it replaced. History repeats itself- same was said for 964, 993, 996 etc. Snoozefest. Zzzzzzzz

i never said it about 964, 993 (bought one) or 996 (bought two) or 997 or 991

there are a boatload of people on multiple sites barfing over the new stupidly hideous and more stupidly expensive 992

Porsche is loving the idiots that are throwing down their money

OMG. You actually don't get it. That's the point- people just don't like new. Give it a few years and the 992 will be loved and the 994 or whatever that replaces it will be considered heresy. Just like the 996 was. I'm unsubscribing now and going back to sleep.

Huh....it all actually sounded pretty cool until I saw that front. Not sure about that. Can it be integrated better with the lines if the car?

darkstar's build deserves its own thread

the 992 is hideous

the 996 is still evil and always will be

...and none of this belongs in the 993 forum.

I was not sure where to put a build on Rennlist or if it would be accepted. Only commented here because of the Beetle content.


Gavonder I have the same same issue the 934 did. I have three radiators to feed air up front. Two side large liquid intercooler radiators and a center radiator for engine cooling. In keeping with my Porsche upbringing this led immediately to the TRE wide 934 nose. It will move up as I continue to do the fiberglass work on the nose.

I am also an aircooled guy. This is the Remmele billet heads, Nickies cylinders, billet manifolds and Pieper throttle bodies 2.6L T4 going in my Meyers Manx #85/100. The STi with intercooled intake is behind it. Now I promise I will step away from 993...
