Will the 997 and older model guys wave to the 991?
You should save this question and start a whole new thread with it! It's will generate a million responses! lol
I have no problems w/ a 991 and actually on the list for the TT.

I'll admit, I don't wave to Cayennes.... But everything else I wave to. 944 owners I get about a 95% return, the other models not as much...

This thread proves that some of you guys need to get off the computer and go put your cars thru their paces! I'd do same right at the moment but I'm in a tin can at 37,000ft.

I've found non-Porsche drivers are more likely to wave than Porsche drivers...for what its worth.

I bought my first 911 in 1970. Back then 99.9999999999% waived. Today it's about 50/50.

I typically wave when I notice a non-cayman Porsche. Always wave when on my bike. Never wave when flying :-)

I never even consider waving to a Cayenne and I've owned one w/ great pleasure. Just feel it is "different" and not something many embrace. Most of the time a soccer mom is in one around here anyway and she is oblivious to the world! lol

Always wave - mixed results.

I flash everyone whether I'm driving the Cayenne or the 997... soccer mom's especially... probably wonder who the hell was that guy?

I either wave or flash my head lights.

I shoot birds at oncoming Corvettes. They see it, but have no time to respond.

Only Corvettes.

Works every time.

Strangely satisfying.

Without thought in my 2 months ownership I've only waived at 911's. Get waves back most of the time, sometimes they initiate. I suspect the one's that don't wave aren't in it for the love of the car 100%.

I can go for weeks without seeing another Porsche in my area.... I just arrived at my daughters in Old Greenwich and saw five in the first five minutes... one was a blk Boxster Spyder,, the rest were just run of the mill 911's...

I always wave at Vettes.... never had a problem with them and it messes with their mind.

I flash my lights when waved too... but will only initiate when I see another 911.
