Re: What Logo Tagged in the back of your 997 do you prefer?
I'm waiting to install the PSE to remove the "carrera" and replace it with "911". What do u think? Question, the 996 has a serie that comes with the 911 tag, it's the 40th aniv.; Now does the 997 has any kind of series that comes with the 911 tag form the factory?

You can always tell by the brakes.... unless you get those painted red also
I see a lot of Audi RS6s without the badge and I must say I really like that!

If somebody doesn't know which model you have, let them ask or figure it out on their own. If the "S" is all that important, tape a bank statement to the window or keep your 1/4 mile times shoe-polished on the windshield. 
I like the cleaner look of the car when you remove anything you can with the exception of the Crest on the hood.

997 vs 997S
There are two types of people who will ever see your car: Those who know P cars well and those who don't (or don't care). The former isn't getting fooled by a missing emblem and the latter doesn't even know the S version exists. I guess a third type is the S owner who thinks their car is so envious that non-S owners actually hide the true identity of their car. Whether the decision to buy a non-S car was related to finances, availability or just plain preference, I don't think 997 owners think about it as much as some 997S owners do (or think we do).

No, that would be just plain foolish.

The thing devo is that I personal think that spending on options, for me, is more important than a 0.2 second gain of a S. I'm not saying that the S is not a super great car but if I'm really searching for ultra power I would've get a turbo or GT3

It's a game of competition and one-ups-manship that Porsche encourages by making the different 997s look slightly different.
It's like they want to condition us to the color of calipers, the shape of the exhaust tips, various apertures.
So when you see one you are always trying to figure out which one it is. Theoretically all Carreras should really look the same because essential differences between models such as brakes, engines, etc are hidden from view.
When you mess with the designations (make them inconsistent or unavailable) you short circuit people's ID process wether you like it, or don't like it or could care less about it.
It's just a fact of life. Also a fact of life that they will natrually wonder why you elected to eliminate or modify a designation.
