I got a contractor's special this week; same tire received one screw, one nail, one sliver of sharp metal and a staple! And it was *almost* patchable but the smallest injury (the nail) was on the shoulder, so no dice. I took the wheel off to the shop to get a new tire, and was shocked at how big those suckers look when dismounted..

Here's a perspective next to my 1972 911. It's ridiculous !!! If I ran my 991 on 72 wheels and tires I could probably spin them in 7th gear ;-) ( I know I should have put it next to the actual tire but by the time I thought about it, it was mounted, and that sucker is heavy so I'm not doing it again ;-)

Or, on the flip side, if you mounted those 305s on the '72 you could probably corner at 3.5g's.

The 911T almost looks like one of those kids mini cars next to the other one. I bet its just as fun to drive though!

I'll just put this here (I've posted this picture in the past):

Is it just me or do those 2 cars not look that different in size?

GregD

Yeah, that shot's perspective is deceiving.... I've owned a 356 and while it's not as small a car as you'd think (tons of headrooom), it's nowhere near a 991.
Look at the 911 by comparison (and that was bigger than a 356)

Hey, at least it's not gotten any taller!







(You have to shoot them from far away with a long lens to not get the kind of distortion the other photos in this thread have shown)

Steam rollers! Very interesting perspective. Id like to see the 911 get to 918 \ LaFerrari proportions someday. I love how low and WIDE it is.

It's not just you.

I'm always in aw when I remove the wheels to see how meaty 305's are.
