I'm 45 and love the wing how many other cars out there can you put a wing on and not have it look totally foolish??

^^^ Interesting idea; a GT2 base with a slotted duck tail grafted to the top of it!

This is a race car and even if it looks outlandish, it's purposeful. I'd assume it has some quality downforce For this a wing is in it's element.
I like Jack Olsen's idea. Duck that turns into a masterful wing.

^^^ Brandon (Mr. Opinion #1!! ), no doubt there are many posters that look at the car above and think that the owner should return it to stock given the escalating 911 prices.

Perhaps, but it takes a certain "gold-chain-guido" mentality to own/drive a 911 anyway, so might as well go all out!

This is funny. I never owned a gold chain(that I wear anyway, I have a store full of them though) and when I got my 2nd Porsche separated by 20 years from the first, I was a little embarrassed to be seen driving it so I'd drive with tinted windows up. I know it's odd but I didn't like the stigma of the typical Porsche guy but I had to drive it. NowI just don't care I need the p-car in my life. I'f people don't like it, screw em.

^^^ Ha! I know what you mean about the "stigma" - very guido, very gold chain, and VERY 80s aura to these cars!

I don't care either, and in fact, often purposely live down to peoples' expectations by flooring it every chance I get. Yes, I'm the easily entertained tool in the pint sized, gross polluter!!!

The new Cayman GT-4 does not need a giant two story wing. I wonder why some guys have not come up with a wing that comes up with speed and then hides in the air cooled cars? I'll tell you why...they want you to see their huge giant wing.

[quattrorunner]

So funny you should say that.

So owners of wingless, or hidden wing, aircooled 911s want everyone to see the car's VW Beetle butt?!?!

Ah ok I miss understood, I love that blue and have stared at many pictures of your car, I'm also seriously considering an IROC front bumper for my red car after seeing your car.

I really like the wing it makes the car look real fast. Nobody even realizes it's a
76 912.

That's funny cole, where have you been?

[cole930]

Brandon,

Good to hear from you.

Had an issue with last years ice damming that required 5 - 7 months of
repairs. Mayo checkup found a tumor in my right lung we had to deal with.

Been doing work on the sled because we puked a turbo and had to
replace it. We are all back together and ready for warmer weather.

Hope all is good with you and yours !!!!

Cole

[quattrorunner]

Wow been busy. I hope you're feeling better and that you'll be around here more, we've missed you.

[Ronnie's.930]

^^^ No doubt about that!

Cole, every time I see one of the "wing or no wing" threads, as well as any thread about the evils of modifying one's 911/930, from the OEM only crowd (threads on K-jetronic turbocharging & brake bleeding, too), I think about you and wonder how the Old Bastage is doing!
