Its a very personal thing but I can't look at a 996 turbo or C4S and think it looks ok from the front.I like every other aspect including the interior but the front end spoiled it for me.JohnnyDangerous said:kas750 said:That's a great point and I'm glad you mentioned it as the stylist of the GT2 managed to cheat the angles with the PU design which makes the 996 GT2 one of the prettiest 911's ever.JohnnyDangerous said:kas750 said:I absolutely loved and I mean loved driving my 996 Turbo..but I honestly couldn't look at the front from any distance.I hated how it looked.I hated the big daft grills at the front.I actually don't mind a standard 996 from the front and particularly the earlier models with the fried egg headlamps but my turbo looked horrendous from that aspect.That said I bought it when they were incredible value and now they are less so.I am sure I will look back in years to come and think the front looks good but when I owned one I think it sucked.
What about a GT2?
And it is a 996 Turbo still? Hmmm cat amongst the pigeons LOL Now Bobas car isnt stock so lets put it up against a modded 996 with GT2 front, hell for giggles Ill park next to Boba at the next ace meet we can both get to and we can take votes, New996buyer can organise and see how the public and other 911 model owners vote! can I use my anti-lag :thumbs:

You've obviously never seen a 997T next to a Carrera 2/2S from the rear.
The Turbo, 4wd cars and the GTS have an extra 44mm. I'm not sure about GT cars. It does make a difference. :wink:
