    996 & 997 Top View

    Coupe and Cab. but it kind of gives you a good comparison. I changed both pics to B&W so the colors wouldn't interfere with the comparison.

    Re: 996 & 997 Top View

    The wider rear fenders are really an improvement.

    Re: 996 & 997 Top View

    Great
    Do you have similar front/back/side pictures?

    Re: 996 & 997 Top View

    Looking at this, I can't get over the feeling that the headlights have finally been fixed.

    The 996 lights are like a broken egg (maybe a poached or fried egg) that's running downhill and under the hood. The light wanted to be an oval but somehow it was damaged.

    With the 997, the cook has finally mastered his technique and has been able to keep the eggs whole!

    Re: 996 & 997 Top View

    Thanks for the great picture...


    Re: 996 & 997 Top View


    Rear fenders ..... it's like how the 993 was .... i.e. just perfect ... like a woman with graceful form.

    Re: 996 & 997 Top View

    Ron - any chance of putting the C2S alongside the 996 C4S...intrigued to see the extent to which the flaring differs.

    Re: 996 & 997 Top View

    thanks ron, nice idea!

    from the front i still prefer the 996, especially in turbo/4S or GT3 disguise.

    Compare apples to apples, i.e. a 997 Turbo to 996 Turbo. Of course this comp. may look better compared to a generic studio shot of the carrera. Both look great, but the 997 Turbo, I think, will match the aggresivness of the 996. At least I hope

    996 & 997 Side View

    Side view

    The 997 picture has been flipped don't mind the 997 gas tank access.

    Re: 996 & 997 Top View

    After looking at those side view comparisons, those "sport" wheels actually look really good. Maybe they have just looked too dull in the other photos and need to be chromed up a bit. I was dead set on the carrera classic style, but now I'm having second thoughts...

    Re: 996 & 997 Top View

    The front view shot isn't a great comparison, because the 997 is probably a close-up shot (wide-angle), and the 996 is probably a far shot with zoom (narrow-angle), which makes the 997 have the weird fish-eye effect.

    If you do the same, close distance narrow-angle shot on the 996, you'll get a similar, goofy-looking front:

    Re: 996 & 997 Side View

    Hey Ron,

    How about a side view of the 997 and 993? That may show some similarities.
