The without wing picture actually looks better. Gives the car a wider and lower stance look.

I think the angle of the picture is different.

We all like different look and that is the reason why I say -- the choice is yours !

I hear ya, I hear ya. That's why I'm stating my choice

I wish the rear deck assembly or wing can be popped on/off easily. Some days I want to wing-it and some days I don't.

I like the flat underbody design of the turtle too. Very state of the art in aerodynamics speak.

Just keep it stock and don't do 75mph.

I looked at the Strosek and others, I'm still liking this one, but I've only had the car a few months, and it's been snowing too much to drive it every day.

though the classic porsche looks great sans wing, I think the Turbo definitely needs the wing.

actually, i think the c4s looks great (better?) without a wing from the back, but like all 911s without wings, the side view lacks...something.

the stock 996TT wing is sad...and i am sadly stuck with it. lol but better than nothing.
