To duck or tail? images please
 

I'm having a hard time with my decision to add a duck or carrera tail to my car. I have a no intercooler turbo and will need air conditioning soon so I need room for a condenser. I have the 964 tail right now which is cool but no room for ac condenser. I will have a stripe which points me to a duck, but the carrera tail has room to grow for whatever that means. I don't want rubber tails for weight savings back there. So if I do the carrera tail, it would be all fiberglass and painted completely. What say you? If it were you what would you choose?
How bout some photos of yours to help me?

"Turbo powa!" - Really? That sounds like something from a cartoon.....

Anyway, is this going to be a completely aesthetics driven decision?

A duck tail is not nearly as effective at lowering lift as a '77 Turbo tail or the '84 - '89 Carrera tail.

I would duck....I wish my car had one. Maybe someday

Shame to loose the 964 unit

Not completely aesthetics, but the duck and carrera are so similar in effectiveness that it doesn't matter. I'm concerned about cooling more than lift though if that means anything? Cooling of the engine I mean.
I like the duck more just so you know. I have a carrera with rubber too.

Duck it!!!! Tim

Cool cars, I'd like to do some new bumpers in an rsr flavor too.

Duck
A lot more pretty IMO

Duck or no tail. I can't wait to liberate the turbo tail from my car.

OK, who wants to trade me a good duck for a 964 tail and hinges?

Wilshel I like that duck, where is it from?

That duck tail is from Automotion and I put it on when it was repainted in 96. This is a real Carrera but the original owner ordered it without the duck tail so I have both lids. I like the look of the duck tail!

Unless frequently over 110mph, why add one at all? You already mention you don't like the wieght or the rubber..

My SC had a Turbo tail.. ugh.. too much imho.. so I went with a Duck replacement.

I do like the ducktail, but I also like the IROC style tail.

Quack!
