The 930 turbo will forever be my favorite. Was one of the first Porsche's I drove in and was introduced to when I was a kid. Everytime I see one pull into the service part of the Porsche Dealership I work at I always get excited. To me the 911 will always be an heirloom brand.

[@section8usmc53]

@@djick31 Acceptable with an eye roll for lazy people. It's a proper name. Saying it properly only sounds snobby if you make something out of it, like emphasizing it, or pausing. It's not nearly as egregious as pronouncing Jorge as "George" but it still shows laziness and a lack of respect in my opinion, especially if you're in their country. I'd be irritated if my name was Stēve and they pronounced it Stĕv with a short E, even AFTER they had been told over and over, the proper way to pronounce it.

Missed the 996.2, 997.2 and 991.2 very different than the 996, 997 and 991. Especially the 991.1 none of the exterior body panels and rims are shared with the 991 and the entire drive train is different going from the N/A to being completely turbo charged. Interior is mostly the same for the exception of a new steering wheel and new interior technology all in all beside similar looks its a completely different car and also marked the massive shift from over 50 years of NA engines to all Turbo Charged line to meet tightening emission regulations.

The 911 is most definitely not the most mass produced sports car ever made. Corvette and Miata both exceeded it.

[@Peter_Cetera]

In the past the Corvette and (still) the Miata are not in the same league of sportscars... They are wannabe sportcars...

[@jamesengland7461]

@@Peter_Cetera the Miata is the very definition of sports car. Now, to be fair, you could divide sports cars into 2 levels, the kind like Miata and most British ones that can be more fully enjoyed at reasonable road speeds, and are more affordable, and the faster ones like Porsche, Corvette, Ferrari, etc., but they're all sports cars. Corvette is the longest- running sports car, having been seriously competitive since 1956. It and 911 have always been on parallel tracks.

Also the 993, 996 and 997 targa models have a different design, compared to the 901, 930, 964, 991 and 992 targa models.

[@gerhardgraf3335]

I appreciate the skills of Porsche to make a car drivable despite the fact that the engine is put at the completely wrong place. But why on earth did this car get so big and heavy?

[@romiarkan450]

So the passengers inside can sit comfortably and so they don't get crushed inside when accidents happen

[@ghoulbuster1]

All cars got heavier and bigger because of safety.

[@brawler5760]

So that we won’t die when we get into crashes.

[@nevillewran4083]

Because an air-cooled engine could no longer deliver the performance expected of a Porsche, nor the stringent Euro emission standards. They went water-cooled and and (I think) the transition then was the largest size increase.

[@TimFerber]

​@@romiarkan450 true, i know a 911 turbo, that went with 270 kph in the barrier, went through it and hit a tree, the driver wasn't even in hospital. ofc, he still had luck but current cars are really safe, as long as you are inside them
