I am talking here about cars as Porsche made them...modded cars are a topic for another thread!
My tastes run as follows:
I prefer longhoods to 74-89 impact bumper cars, and either to the later models. I also like the narrow fenders vs. the wider fenders in the later cars.
This next part is tough...I very slightly prefer targas to coupes, and I prefer both to cabs. I like the brushed aluminum rather than black targa bar. For targas, I prefer the glass rear window over the soft window on the very early cars
Fuchs are a must.
I like the clean tail-less look over the duck or whale tail
Color: I like unusual colors - yellow, orange, green. For longhoods, I think non-metallic colors look best.
After long painstaking hours of research on this board gazing at thousands of pics, particularly on the Ultimate Targa Thread, I have decided on a winner (it was so close...a stunning 911s in yellow, a heartbreaking dark blue 911T..).
And the winner is....
as found on this link:
Ultimate Targa Thread!
I just love everything about this car: the perfect shape of the longhood, the brushed alum bar, the fuchs, the setting(!), but most of all the color! My word, the looks of longing and envy that driving this car must inspire! If I drove this car I'd have a grin that would swallow a whaletail.
Congratulations Skip Newsome! You own the best looking car Porche ever made!
