Hi
I always thought that it was kind of neat that floor boards in Porsches were wood. Does the 997 still have wood floor boards?

 

"NO"

Not a fibre of wood in a 997.

 

is there any wood in or on a 997? I mean any....

the answer is "YES"

 

You mean, does the 911 still come with wood floor boards? I never knew they did. Was that like 30 yrs ago? Sorta gives a different perspective on the term wood flooring.

 

Porsche used laminate wood panels down in the floor many years ago on 911s; on the passenger side it was what your feet rested up against (not the floor bottom) and on the driver's side it was used and was cut out around the pedals.

My '89 944 doesn't have wood floor boards, I know because I dynamatted them, and it's over fifteen years old. So I doubt the new ones have wood floor boards.

 

as Dan says, it's the part that goes around the pedals - the 993's still did - I guess mine's 9 yrs old now, not sure if the 996's did or not...

 

The Morgan, long ago, had an oak frame.

 

If you want wood floor boards in a new car, try a Corvette--they've got a balsa wood sandwich in the floor. Plus a Z06 is faster!

(Sorry, couldn't help that last comment, I just wanted to arouse the excitable.)
