I'm actually interested in the exact opposite; is it possible to spec a turbo without the wing?

Could you order one with the 'S' rear instead? The one thing which puts me off the turbo is that dreadful thing at the back.........

Unfortunately, Porsche will not allow you to spec a turbo without a turbo wing. They take aerodynamics very seriously and doing something like that will upset the balance they worked hard to create. Of course, it all really comes down to how fast you drive. If you're always south of 120 mph then it's less a factor.

MAShaw should have all the aero stuff you want for your C2.
I dont know why BUT I would put a GT3RS wing on my 911, but thats just my opinion.

Good. Thought I was the only one. I'll delete the dual rectangular portholes in the rear fenders too please. The air cooled twins didn't need em'........

why?
something to consider... or not.

i like that on my 964, i can see the rear wing when it's up. the GT3 and RS wings look great, but think something more subtle would be better in this case. i haven't come across any other less extravagant wings that i fancy. the turbo tail looks tiny mounted on the back of those huge hips which got me wondering if proportions would be better on nb. it's oem.
