Now here's something that might surprise you...
We all tend to think the 356 Speedster is a little car, and that later 911s, with arches and spoilers, were bulky...
Been wanting to do this comparison for some time and we finally managed to get the two cars together.

nice picture!
they still look tiny when you see them on the road being driven.
surely they are narrower / have a shorter wheelbase? shorter?

People forget that even up to the 993 Porsche 911s were very small in comparison to most 'other' vehicles...
