are suggesting coconuts migrate?

Quicksilver 12-20-2012 05:47 PM

Where is the Panamera in that list?

Flieger 12-20-2012 06:14 PM

I do! Pretty soon there will be an optional 88 available on the "911 Carrera"

Tanks got smaller and 911's are getting bigger.

But unlike the Tigers, the newer, larger Carraras do get better mileage.

One thing that has changed (other than the size) is that the rear slope of the 911 used to terminate just above the bumper line, which itself was fairly low. It was a beautiful taper towards the rear of the car, shown particularly well on the early, pre impact bumper cars.

Now the 911 has a bulbous rear end and has all but lost those lines.

Under the TIGER III Ausf. S.

Not at all, they could be carried.

Tanks got bigger and so did 911's


* Notice the chronological orders are different

in my experience product lines (cell phones, tanks, cars, software, computers) tend toward more not less with few exceptions, I worked at FMC (military vehicle design) way back in the day, the customer asked for more or "more" features were presented, we designed for more... that's how it goes

It couldn't be carried by a US 911.
An RoW 911, maybe, but not a US 911. That's my point.
But then the RoW 911's not migratory...

common attributes:
workmanship and torsion bar suspension - oh, and the engines (porsche) were air-cooled.
I wonder how the A/C was, although I could venture a guess.

It could grip by the rain gutters.

SilberUrS6 12-21-2012 07:32 AM

The Ausf. L was the only command vehicle of the group?

Bill Verburg 12-21-2012 07:40 AM

Much as you guys may not like it a longer wheel base and wider track do make for a better handling car

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

It's not a question of where one grips it! It is a simple question of weight ratios! A 2400lb Porsche cannot carry a 68 ton Tiger tank.

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

Nick Triesch 12-21-2012 07:55 AM

I think the 930s wheel from Pelican looks and feels a lot better than the ugly 944 skinny toy wheel that I replaced. I don't understand why Porsche made such a great sportscar and put in such junk steering wheels?

You have to know these thing when you are king, you know...
