997 has wider rear stance than 996... It's very visibly apparent to me at least.
I heard 996 has reving problem? I'm not sure since I don't know Porsche at all.

probably on the normal 911, but on the 996 c4s or so, i think the wide body in the back is pretty good still?

no clue on the reving problem though, i try not to read much on porsche, coz' i know i will want one so badly

Which one is the c4s.. it's the four weel drive with turbo brakes, front air dam, and vented skde skirts right?

Does 911 offer any shift padel at all?? If not then Solara is a keeper

The 997 was made with more pronouched rear hunches, ala 993, many thought the 996 was too smooth and not aggresive enough. n

I'd hit either

Great looking Porsche, but I REALLY dislike those Exhaust Tips. I saw them up close at the Porsche dealer where they sell them for $160 a pair. I don't like how they look.

Yah, the 996 Turbo is wider than the 997, which is wider than the standard "narrow body" 996.

The 996 C4 is a narrow body, the 996 C4S is widebody, same body & wheels as the 996 Turbo but without the quarter panel side intake vents. Think of it as a turbo with an "engine delete" option.

Sorry Ethan!
