996

356: it's not part of the "9" naming convention?

Best,

Kurt

944 is the only one without a flat motor?

Dottore 09-28-2007 01:49 PM

944. Front engine. Not flat.

kstar 09-28-2007 01:53 PM

Also, 914 is only mid-engine Porsche in that line-up.

Best,

Kurt

914 is a two seater. The other have "back seats". Sort of.

MysticLlama 09-28-2007 01:57 PM

I thought of the mid-engine thing too, but since the 944 was the only front-engine, that'd make it just as likely to not belong.

I will supply the answer. Think outside the box!!

What about 356 cabs? Are those two seaters or still have token back seat area with the top up?, and/or does that not count?

Nope, 944s are too.

MysticLlama 09-28-2007 02:08 PM

A 914 is the only one that came from the factory with two different #s of Cylinders, the 4 and the 6.

912s were a different designation from 911, though it was about the same thing.

911 was the only one that ever had SportOMatic. :D

MysticLlama 09-28-2007 02:10 PM

944 is the only hatchback.

Dang, I know that too:rolleyes:

The only one built after Ferry Porsche died.

914 is the only 2 seater?

Aerkuld 09-28-2007 02:15 PM

The 996 - because it IS a 911!

(Nomex underware on...)

mattdavis11 09-28-2007 02:15 PM

944, the only one with a timing belt. Pop up lights too, along with the other other responses.

BK911 09-28-2007 02:16 PM

The 914 is actually a VW.

Mule 09-28-2007 02:16 PM

None were Dr. Porsche's favorite.

In which case the 944 is the one without a boxer engine, but someone else has already said that.
