Default Project Orange & 997 GT3 RS Pics

I had a drive on the weekend with the friend who sold me the base car for Project Orange. He is doing it tough without his 993 having to slum it with a 997 GT3 RS. I found the 997 a beautiful car elegantly understated in silver with a lovely hint of menace with its orange accents. Here are some pictures contrasting the styles.

Fantastic, obvious slight bias, but to me the 993 is the better looking car

The 997 looks like a Cadillac (size-wise) next to the 993. It is a beautiful car, though.

Your 993 is awesome, and really takes the spotlight away from that Gt3

Charlie is right, 997's are so large relative to 993's. In person the difference is amplified.

GT3 is narrow, GT3RS is wide I think.

Freddy - I was behind a Boxster the other day and that thing was like an SUV. The ride height probably had something to do with it.
