Slant nose Porsches
hey whats up with the slant nose porsches what was the concept and when did they have them ive seen a couple of pics but not heard about the reasoning behind them and why they were put out. The design makes them look a little off camber in my opion
Anyone have any good pics of any slant noses

They look (kinda) like the 935 - the quickest racing 911 that Porsche made.
 Presumably it is aerodynamics. And a desire for something a little "sharper" in the 80s (when Porsche offered it as a factory special option for a lot of $$$). It is difficult to convert them properly, and one risks spending some time in the Porsche style wilderness (although the cars continue to have their fans).

The late '70s 935 racers were the first slant noses - a creative interpretation of the bodywork sillouette rules at the time. Took off into production as an option after that in the '80s.
All aerodynamics - less frontal area for decreased drag and more surface to create downforce.

This topic is inappropriate for the OT section. Please stick to bashing bush, kerry, women, and/or catholics.

C'mon ... surely GW and Kerry (catholics) spent some time in the '80s cruising around in a slant nose Porsche looking for women ... maybe wiping their noses.

How do you get a nun pregnant?
Dress her up like an altar boy! A catholic priest and a lawyer are sitting on a park bench when a young boy walks by. "I'd sure like to screw him!" says the priest. "Out of what?" replies the lawyer.
