I have modified it and installed "911 special aero windscreen" which is 10 cm further (more sloped) than original. As seen on some 964 cars like RS tuning's "rocket science version" or DP motorsport's proto car..
Mine is probably only 993 model in the world with that aero windscreen.. if Toby hasn't yet installed one for his car
That 995TT is good model name for it

Call it the 993 TTJ-J for Jussi.
I say keep it unpainted-that will save about 50 pounds-ala the Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang.
Or wrap it in one of those Speedo swimsuits Michael Phelps used to break all those records and earn gold-good for lowering the Cd. But get yours in Finnish colors.

Jussi, thanks for the update - you are one clever SOB
After you calculated my GT2 arched CdA near 0.72 the sloped screen seemed pointless - I will start another thread with my other body mod progress....

So you've been busy...fortunately here's still few months of season left. I've progressed with my car too, but it's still quite lame compared to yours.

Great to hear and also very interesting..
It has been said that in Formula 1 cars, power means 50% and if driver will be ignored, aerodynamics means 40% from success - so these things are really significant if you want to go Fast

...vague recollections of a red 993....with laid back windscreen...to help its top speed along
What do you mean by that "rake on the windscreen"?
I have modified it and installed "911 special aero windscreen" which is 10 cm further (more sloped) than original. As seen on some 964 cars like RS tuning's "rocket science version" or DP motorsport's proto car..
