Default Which do you like better? Wide body or Narrow body?

I'm not trying to start a war here, just wondering what other's might think.

The other day I took my car to the shop and there was a beautiful 96 C4S in what I believe was Arctic Silver. My car is a 95 narrow body in Polar Silver.

I've always thought that the wide body car was "nicer," but seeing them side by side for the first time I really preferred the lines of the narrow body car.

What's your feeling?

BTW, Arctic Silver and Polar Silver a completely different! Polar silver looks blue next to Arctic silver.

Wide body or Narrow body, the 993 is a beautiful car.

It is all personal preference. Each body style has its strengths and drawbacks. I personally like large breasted blondes, but other may prefer brunettes. I do not regret spending the extra $ to get a widebody. I have had the car for about three years and plan on keeping it for a long time. When you amortize the extra cost over several years, it is minimal. Also, the polar silver and artic silver are very different. I like them both.

While the wide-bodied cars are beautiful the price differential would keep me on the narrow body path. Also since I put on my RS wing most people think that my NB is a C2S ... go figure.

wide body looks wise but if i could have it my way id take a wide body turbo with no awd. the 993 still looks very mean from the rear even with the narrow body. but other pcars id go for the wide body

I like them both equally. I hope to add a C4S to the stable some day, mainly for the AWD, extra weight, fatter rear tires and bigger brakes.

I would guess the results of this poll will very closely mirror the ratio of WB cars to NB cars in existence....or, the ratio owned by people responding to the poll.

I like them both, and have owned both....but, I track a wide body as they are capable of being faster on track.
