Duck all day. There’s a reason why you still see ducktails being offered today and not whale tails. Personally I think they look more classy than whale tails.

Am I doing this right?

Either way, I’ll be having a mass debate.

Duck all the way. But you can’t really do this with the duck tail.

I was going to say duck and then I couldn’t decide. And then I remembered

this bird why I love the whale the best.

I don’t think you can go wrong with either. I’ve never seen a retro whale tail on a 996 and up car. Off to search the internets!

I prefer the whale unless it’s on an old Carrera.

Depends. In the context of Porsches only, whale tails. For overall vehicles, duck tails. I think a duck tail would look great on a Nissan 350/370z. I don’t think a whale tail would look good on anything other than a Porsche.

Either is a win... but duck tails get a lot of love... I think I kind of like the smaller variants of the whale tail a little better. 1974’s 911 Carrera RSR IROC is just one year later than the legendary duck-tailed 73 911 Carrera 2.7RS. I think the horizontal line aesthetically flows better, and probably airflows better, too.

But I don’t prefer the bigger whale tails, especially the ones with the thick edging. The thin-blade, cleaner looking, less massive earlier whale tails are nicer looking, and preserve the line better.

The Fiberwerks 996/997 whale tail does have thicker edging, but it suits the body aesthetic better, and it still isn’t massive.

I know the right answer is duck, but since the posters on my childhood bedroom walls were whales, that’s what I like.
