Algea Hater posted the compoarison shots. Unfortunately, the images are not showing on my computer now (the greaded red x). May be John has a way to resurrect the images. I'd love to see them again myself.

i agree with mark, the narrow body really is not totally narrow as it does bulge in both fenders (older 911s were truely narrow).
Ive had a c2 and now a tt. I love the wide TT, but only b/c it has the TT spoiler and it really is a turbo so i just looks (and is) much more serious. I believe the narrow car is what porsche designed the car to be. If you want, i would add RS rockers and that would be a nice addition. Also, IMHO, i think the wide cars look a big too wide w/o a fixed spoiler.

The truth is that either one is the best representitive of the 911 Porsche ever produced, so take your pic!! being a turbo guy though I love the wide body. BUT the NB seems to make a statement of purpose that I can understand, style wise.

Would have preferred an 'S' of some sort, but was out of my reach as I didnt want to push my luck with my lovely wife as I originally set out to purchase a 964 
Looking back now that I have had this car for a few years, I am actually glad I have a NB iteration as I feel the RS bodywork (splitters, skirts and tail) looks great, without too much bling bling. FWIW

I'm a new Porsche owner and frankly before buying a 993 I didn't know about the difference. I think people in general do not know of the difference until they actually see them side by side. After buying a salesman told me mine was a WB and that the car I first looked at was a NB. Sounds stupid now that I know....

Not to confuse threads, but since our cars have now fallen in value below the 3.2 it is the perfect time to pick up an extra one. Personally, I love a cab and since they only came in NB I had no choice. When I wanted a coupe, there was no question, make mine a really big butt.
