Um, whats the car in the middle? I can't tell w/out a badge? Actually, is the oen on the right a fe-aero?

Not all Carreras are or have been 911s and most 911s since production were not Carreras. My 996 had the rear badge delete option and I always felt something was missing there. I didn't want "Carrera" as most all 996s had it. I thought about 996 and 911 and even considered having it painted on as I know several pinstripers that would do it. I even considered writing out in script "nine elevin" but ended up trying 911 in black script which, although doesn't look it in some pics, is perfectly centered.

I had my shop install the 911 emblem. The kid that installed it was very proud that he had gotten it centered perfectly. However, I knew he was slightly dyslexic when I saw the numbers installed as “119”.

I think you accidentally turned on your sarcasm filter.

No expert here but I always thought that all Carreras were 911's although I agree that early 911's were not all Carreras.
