Hodgy, it has the normal 911 spoiler that comes up at speed but not the very nice fixed duck tail spoiler Scott has as an option. I have considered this but significant cost aside I think the duck tail looks best on red and white cars.
Thanks Mattee.
John, I've secured a discount and that's why i think they'll want me to register in 2012. The curious thing is they've not stipulated it in any conversation I've had so far. Whereas when I bought the BM the discount I negotiated was always on the proviso that I would register before a certain date.

Actually the rear end is very nice without it too, a testament to the purity of the design
Anyway well done, looks amazing
I hope your wife gets something really special for Xmas Too

Black wheels,silver rim, white car. Only.
Anything else looks like its trying too hard.
Keep it as it is DD - the 991 is now a GT car, not a track slag.
It has poise and class, don't spoil it with unecessary fripperies.

Hello David, welcome back
There's enough of us now to have a little Porsche sub forum on Scoobynet, the other members would of course love that
Good to see you back. I'm really excited about getting this car, I haven't felt like this in years.
Btw in your pics (and colour) you can see just how perfectly proportioned this car is. I think it's the best looking 911 ever (I'm not a classic car fan so very early 911s don't appeal to me)
The 997 was a very good looking car but the 991 is even in better imho

Oh I am sure you'll manage with the cooking up/down spoiler

I knew I was right
well done Trout - lovely car

The problem with the standard rear setup is that IMO the pop up spoiler when up looks ridiculous although with the 991 it does look a bit better than the 964 effort. The car looks much better with the clean lines and it not being deployed

I can see merit in both. The duck tail can look very nice in the right colour, red or white being the best.
However without it the car just looks perfectly proportioned.
Anyway, at least we all agree that nobody likes that huge spoiler on the back of a 997.2GT3 RS. I mean who would be seen driving around in one of those?
