Tenuous. And subjective too, surely... :hand:GT4 said:Swoopy aerodynamic headlamps - CHECK

Ant, you do realise I was comparing the 996 to 997 and 991 to 997 and therefore questioning (admittedly tongue in cheek) what just happened in the last 7/8 years?
My 996 is a 3.4 (same as 991)
My 996 is lighter by about 45/50 KGs than a 997.2 (the same as 991:997.2)
My 996 has "swoopy" aerodynamic lights, like the 991, but most definitely NOT like the 993 and therefore NOT like the 997 which has basically the same uprights (in fact the new 991 deliberately bows the clear lenses convex so that air and stones don't "see" a flat upright face to the lamps).
My 996 has 10-spoke alloys, that new 991 has 10-spokes of a similar design.
On that basis I stand by the reasons for my double-take at the specs or overall shape or design features.
If you want me to be really honest, I can actually tell the differences too!
