Came across this great info and thought i'd post for everyone. Probably been posted before but couldn't hurt to post again:

^^^ Stuttcars is a nice site (with big potential), but there's not much going on there... Great historic info! Unfortunately the 996 pages are mostly disabled (all photo's pixillated unless you give them more $ or something)...I don't really get it. I've been a "member" (free mind you) there for years (since I got my car in 2014) but rarely log on, as very little if anything ever changes and they have a "coercion" mindset...

I was able to see all the photos in this 996 link I posted and i'm not a member, are you not able to see the photos? just curious

Thanks for posting.

All pics were there. Just wasted 30 minutes looking at it.

Yeah, that's crazy! For me, all the photo's (but not the video's) are blurred... Only the 996 section is like this (and always has been) - bizarre. Maybe it's my browser - I usually use Chrome or Safari...

Hmmm, it's the computer I'm using (old IMac running old version of Chrome)!... I just opened it on a different computern(HP laptop Windows 10/Chrome) and everything shows up just fine. Strange thing is, I had another HP laptop a short time ago also runing Chrome, where all the photo's were blurred... Oh well, learning everyday!

Some great photos including cross-sections, i found the entire write-up very informative

Absolutely! I've always loved the site, but was disappointed by the 996 info (it also took them years to get the info up - I joined in 2014 and the 996 page was "under construction" til some time around 2017 - 18). The photo's/Illustrations make a huge difference in the interest/readability. Thanks for posting!

** Just as an aside - I find the anti 996 bias amusing

Some good information there, but also a lot of "personal" opinions not specially objective (like the comments on the AWD system...)

Oh yeah... it's also got all the "even though the 993 is the most beautiful of all 911's the 996 has a lower drag coefficient" type comments as well... in addition to the "fried egg" comments. They rarely just leave a good point on it's own - they always try to drag it back down... It's really pretty funny
