ohh funny cossey, real funny. the only reason i own that pile of shit is because i got it for free.
and they make minor tweaks rarely to the 911. other models are occasionally introduced or tweaked. i’d go as far as to say that the 911 has been tweaked alot less then the O.G. Beetle was over it’s entire lifespan.
I think you only feel that way because you read old issues of Motor Trend. There have been vast improvements over the 911 since it was introduced.
First, lets take the exterior of the car:
To:
Yes, the cars have similar lines, but that is what helps make the 911 a 911. They’re not going to do something radically different. They go with what works, and with something that still pays tribute to the original. It’s progression.
I love the color but I thought 911s were ugly from the first time I ever remember seeing one in the early 80’s and they still look like rolling turds to me. Just personal preference I think the lines that Porsche can’t let go of are just horrible. With that said given the opportunity to drive any 911 wide open on a track I still wouldn’t say no.
If it aint broke, dont fix it. And to say the 911 hasnt unergone many major changes in its lifetime is a statement of complete nonsense
The intake design of the intercooler has been a ruf thing for awhile now. Aero plays its part in cutting up otherwise perfect lines. Still kind of hard to duct high pressure air to the rear of this chassis from the nose :lol
porsche does change, but it takes forever for them to do anything.
funny you brought up the modern muscle, as they are the opposite of porsche.
i’ll use the Chevelle as my example of actual redesigning. from '64 to '70 they changed radically. if you took a 64 and a 70, put them next to each other, and got someone who didnt know what a Chevelle was, i dont think they’d say that both cars are, in fact, Chevelles.
you did the same with a porsche 911, and that person would definately know that both cars were 911s. they just dont change.
