- nl 15y agoYeah, but it's like an axe. The 964 replaced the handle, the 993 replaced the head. The 996 replaced both the head and the handle at the same time - but all 911s have evolved along the same lines,and the 996 just followed that line.
- richiezc 15y agothe 996 and the new 991 are all new designs, and not always for the better depending on your POV. 996: air cool -> water cool 991: hydraulic -> electric steering Even from a physical standpoint the 996 on are positively large compared to 993 and earlier. Isn't a cayman about the same size as pre 90's 911s?
- arepb 15y agoThose are two different things, though!
