are suggesting coconuts migrate?

Where is the Panamera in that list?

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.

16" rims on 993 dont look right.

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.

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

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?

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...

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.

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.

Paul,

Have a look at his beast...

Only two were built, with one completed!!!

The Porsche Entwrf "Maus"

PANZERKAMPFWAGEN VIII MAUS - the Colossal Tank

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?

I thought this was a hold up...not a botany lesson!

Tanks got bigger, they lost the war. See a pattern here?

No relation...

BEST!

Doyle

What, held under the dorsal guiding A-arms?

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.

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

I am literally crying...this was hysterical.
