As I was leaving my local sports club. My god! I know I haven't seen a 991 in a long while, and they aren't the biggest cars or sports cars on the road; but damn, I had to maneuver around it as it passed me in the parking lot! It was really weird and kinda shocking actually thinking how big and fat cars have gotten...

There was also a Livernois tuned C7. Rate the parking how you will.

My neighbor has one. Can't say I've noticed the fatness (I've passed it plenty in my CR-V), but the spoiler is redonkulous. Almost ricey, ya know?

Almost racecar! I can't really explain it. I mean its a very small car compared to other modern cars, but compared to older 911s, but that's just me. It makes a 996 seem like an 70s 911.

Kinda yeah. I hadn't thought of it when I first saw it, now that you mention it though...

I have yet to see a 991 GT3 in person but the 991s in general look absolutely massive compared to the 997s. Waiting to see a GT3 to make judgements on the spoiler… the whole back end looks out of proportion/too high to me. What did you think?

There isn't one at U of M? Kidding aside, the 991 definitely looks massive compared to the 997.1 and 997.2! It is kind of a turn off for me as I love a cramped and compact sports car without too many electronic gizmos and whatnot.

The spoiler is definitely something. It's a weird looking one in person. Almost too racecar-ish or ricey for the car, I'm not really a fan of it; but the proportions seems somewhat alright, but not perfect. I prefer the traditional duck tail or whale tail.

Crazy to think how it's lighter than the 997.

Aluminum, man...

Aluminium is magic stuff, but even so, size still matters and it's noticeably bigger in size, the 991.

Nope. At U of M we have 2 r8s, a 458, caymans, and a maserati granturismo mc stradale, but no GT3s ;). I agree with the sizing - the 997 GT3 is just perfect to me. To be honest, I've always much preferred the RS wings and thought the standard GT3 wings were a bit ugly (be it 997.1, 997.2, or 991). It's an easy swap at least.

Interesting lot of cars there. It's the only Michigan college I have yet to visit any friends at. It's also the closest so I have no excuses for not paying AA a visit at least once this semester.

RS wings are love.
