nice pics.

shame the same snap appears loads of times, with a bit of zoom and pan.

those wheels don't do it for me though.
Fussy, and with loads of sharp corners that cannot be good from a stress, or aerodynamic point of view.

It so badly needs a sculpted air scoop bonnet, it aches.

I'm interested to know why? I thought it was a rear-engined car?

He means so it looks like the bonnet on a 993. It would be an aesthetic thing though, and I agree it would look good.

Well if you take a look at your 993, you'll have the answer.

Oops, sorry, veewhy - I misread the bonnet airscoop comment as the meaning the sort of thing you see on various hot-engined cars that need a mid-bonnet scoop to force-feed more air to a front engine.
You're right, of course - there's an air scoop below the windscreen on the 993 and nothing at all in that area on the 997 photos. And it does look very odd - like Clark Gable without a moustache!
