TD doesn't make graphs... TD has graphs made for him. TD then discusses the graphs ad nauseum.

Jazz, I added some info to your graph (though in retrospect, I guess I left out the 904.)

Anyone care to add the FEWCs? Those would be easy - a straight line across the bottom

I'd say there should be more of a dip at the 964 then a whopping drop at the 996.

The sample set was rear engined Porsches in the 911 lineage, not all Porsches. You mid engined guys always find an opportunity to show off the shoulder chip you have

Everyone has ‘baggage.” After packing the 964 for 5 fun filled days in Detroit for two I can only say if you have a 911 you can’t have much. 914s and chicksters have two (2) trunks! Nuf said

BTW - Dave; sorry don't know anything about the car

You know the first one was mid-engined right? The one from which all others were born including the fabled 911? Mid-engined. Without that first mid-engined platform where would you be today? Don't discount the presence of the mid-engined Porsches and their importance to the longevity of the marque.

Just piling on

Dave,

How much do you want to spend? I know of a 993 that is a good candidate for a track car. I know the owner and we'll be putting it up here soon. He's fixing the sunroof and getting rear tires. It's going to be priced well.

Well, technically the car the first 356 was derived from was a rear engined car, the VW Sedan Kdf-Wagen Type 12. And before that was an electric car with motors in the front hubs designed by Herr Dr. Porsche when he was 20 called the System Lohner-Porsche. So there. Why do you always have to discount the electric car in the evolution of Porsche?

What do these cars I mention have to do with the evolution of the 911 from a sports car to a GT car? Not a goddamn thing. Just like the mid engined cars you discuss. The idea of "when did the light weight and nimble 911 turn into an overweight bloated road hog" really has nothing to do with 550s, 914s, 944s or Boxsters. Sorry guys. If you're going to try and "pile on", do it right.

On the contrary. Maybe Porsche didn't need to address the 911 issues you speak of because they keep producing a "lightweight nimble car" in the form of all those models you listed. It's one more reason for you to despise them as they took the focus away from the 911
