DaveC:

The 997 only seems smaller compared to the over stretched 991, but it is nonetheless a larger than ideal size compared to the 993 whixh arguably was the best proportioned 911. The loss of air cooling was far less comproming to the overall driving experience than the loss of compactness.

Agree - and the 993 is basically the same size as 911 from the 1960's (wheelbase increased for 1969) with the exception of fender flares and bumper caps.
