Is there really a difference between 911 and Boxster?

Do you really think there is areal difference between Boxster and 911, because I have a 1997 Porsche Carrera 2. It looks better than a 2001 Porsche Boxster.

the carrera its way more powerfull and beutifull!
dont change your car!
thats a beutifull car!:D

:confused:

That's a ridiculous question!
There's a huge difference between the two cars. Theyre based on completely different engineering theories which makes them completely different to drive. One is mid engined the other rear engined. One is a 2+2 the other a roadster. Both are exquisite on the limit, but the only real similarity is the same front light unit on the early 996's and the Boxster!
Btw, what the hell is a 966? :confused: I dont think that exists!

cheers,
jay

btw if your 911 is a 993 (which if its '97 it will be you are in ownership of the most beautiful 911 of all time :D )

maybe he was talking about a 996!:confused:

But the 996 IS a 911!! :confused:

996 is the trubo 993 is the carrera both are 911 but those are there code names

Thanks pop, i already knew my 993's from my 996's, but thanks for the pretty pictures anyhow. ;)

I like those 996's in yellow. My firends is in a custom red :o (it is a disgusting sort of pinky red)

can you post a pic?:confused:

Well he does live in Hong Kong... I will send him an E-mail, and maybe he will send a picture.

Pink Porsche? Yuk :apuke:

You are right there.

You guys are fruitcakes, all you guys argue is about if there is a difference between 993and 996. Plus gemballa should really get a new sig. If you guys posts stupid things again, I'm going to take this thread down!!!

Fruitcakes? What are you talking about? No one's posting stupid things. Why are you being aggressive? We're not arguing about anything. You asked a question and i gave you your answer. What the hell is a 966? That doesnt even exist, and youre calling us fruitcakes and threatening to close the thread? Whats that about? This is a forum, people talk about cars. This is a Porsche forum. We're talking about Porsches. Whats the problem here? Your question's been answered hasnt it? And Gemballa isnt telling you a story over and over, thats his sig...

if you dont like it, take this thread off the forum and take yourself with it

Ok!! Ok!!! I want to say sorry to crayzayjay and gemballa, because I got
mad that you guys weren't really answering my question, but not all of you. So I still want for you guys to post things on my thread.

Didn't you guys Know that REAL Porches are AIR COOLED!!That ain't 996's or Boxsters! Just my 2 cents worth!

996 and Boxster are two very real Porsches. I was sad to see the 911 break with tradition but its still very much a 911 and an exceptionally good car. Things change, get over it

it is not hard to get over cars. Who cares, as long as it looks good and is quick!

yea the 997 will have the typical 911 styling :flash:

Sorry, but the 993 was hard for me to get over. To me its the most beautiful 911 ever and one of the best designs ive ever seen. It was followed by a car that doesnt look as good, i.e. the 996, which despite being faster doesnt strike the same chord with me.

Is that to do with the spoiler?

The spoiler is still present on the 996, though the 993 turbo's rear wing is much cooler than the 996 T's. But its not about the spoiler, its the whole package. the 993 body was swoopy, sexy, and aggressive at the same time. the 996 cant claim the same. those "hips" on the 993 were simply outstanding, which the 996 doesnt have, and the new 996 headlights took a while to get used to, even though theyve recently been improved. Overall the 911 lost a lot of character from 993 to 996, though it gained a lot of ability.

911 all the way :frog:

thats what I'm talking about!!!

hey does anyone ever post here any more :(

this thread's dead, and no one ever starts new ones!

post whore?

yeah.

the point of this thread is really stupid.

we all know they're different cars.

you would too, if you knew about them. if you owned a carrera 2. if you were old enough to drive one.

you even went so far as to say you'd close this thread down b/c you didn't like what people said?

and you are ?

yeah.
newb.

ahh id have to say that the 930 turbo was my favorite it hade those big rear fender flares and that sweet whale tail spoiler. wow that was a cool car and the slant nose was sweet too. its so hard to choose bewtween the 930 and the 993 but i think ill take the oldie over the new one. have you seen the 997? they look better in the front than the current 996's almost like the 993 but not quite.

ok

only whoring and no more interesting stuff

sorry guys


i´ll close this thread
