Default 991 RS vs 997 RS

A buddy of mine stopped by for us to install a Sharkwerks bypass (I've done 5 installs already - pretty simple).




We took the opportunity to take a photo of the two cars and my 997 RS. The size difference between the two cars is crazy! the 991's look HUGE next to the little 997.

Here are a few pics. His GT Silver with black wheels looks awesome! Fantastic color.









We then went for a little ride... the harmonics between the two cars was nothing short of amazing. My son was giggling the whole time!!!

Awesome pics. That size difference really shows.

Seems like porsche should start making multiple size 911 and / or 912. Bring back the 993 / 997 sizes along with monster 991 992.

Put a G body, long hood, or 964 in between those and see how tiny they look.

Put a 996 in the picture and the 991 will look like a 911 on steroids.

The 997 looks like it's a model car next to the 2 991's.

Great looking cars!

Quick question..... How do you like your Bend Pak 4 post lift? I'm thinking about purchasing one later this year.

That's gotta be an optical illusion. I've seen them side by side plenty of times. It looks like a power wheel!

Would've certainly thought the delta was much more. Guess my eyes are really bad.
