Porsche followed suit with the 997 Gt3 but back in 1997 it was pretty unique. Good eye!

NICE!! Great combo. The tail on my car is the factory Porsche unit. I had a chance to pick up the RUF spoiler but wasn’t a big fan when I saw it in person. It’s noticeably smaller, I’m sure for better aero, but I like the look of the standard whale tail so I kept it.

Do you have any photos with the under tray removed? Would love to see how the turbos, manifold, exhaust, and catalytic look like!

Thanks for the memories of those meet-ups at Santana Row when our cars were new (to us). Still have the Speed Yellow Turbo, and like you, love it take it out and just feel the pull as the engine winds!

Steve!! It’s still looking great! We need to find a time to get all the 993’s together again. It’s been way too long. Maybe this summer?!
