My sick mind.....

After reading these posts, I thought of the scene in "Buffalo Soldiers" where the US tank runs over a VW Bug.

Please tell me that there's a connection.

Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a 911 needs to rev 7500 times every minute, right?

Wait a minute -- Supposing two 911's carried it?

The Tiger I had a Porsche turret design. Ferdinand also worked on the V1 buzz bomb.

The first thing I noticed when comparing the evolution of the tank and 911 is the location of the turret/cockpit. Over the years, they both moved toward the front. Porsche has done an amazing job with the 911. Working within the confines of one body style for 50 years and creating a sports car icon/legend is incredible!

Maybe if you put the tank on a platform between the two?

look at the difference between '68 and '69 911 where the wheel base went up

or from '98 993 to '99 996 where the wb went up again

or the track, compare n/b to w/b any year

the 991 may be bigger but it's actually lighter than a 997

there are also aero advantages to a longer surface

not to mention the aero advantages of the bulbous "they all look the same" higher rear ends

there is a reason why fish and birds all have the same shapes...

It's not so much the wheelbase length as how the mass is distributed within (or slung out the back of) it.

[porsche930dude]

all cars that have a long history have gotten bigger. The vw beetle , the fiat 500 , the mini cooper, the Jeep CJ/wrangler especially had a similar progression in size. I dont care for the extra fat. I guess thats why I never had a car newer than 1989 lol
