look right, it's not only Porsche's goal to build a perfect
car to track with the perfect shape, weight, etc. They also
have to consider a history of design wich has become tradition!
I don't think the shorter length of all the 911's built from 1965 to 1998 ruined the shape
Re: Why a 997gt3 is made that long?
I'd have to go in the garage and check (too lazy) but I believe there's zero room for shortening. The radiatiors can't be moved in front, and the back is completely occupied. I think the snoot of our cars is so long because of the radiator placement.
Even if you completely sacrificed trunk space, for required airflow, the radiators and their essential aerodymanic housings would still be in the way.
Just guessing... .
Aw sheet..., you're talking about the GT3..., oops. Maybe this applies anyway.
