Your dad shouldn't let you drive his Porsche on drugs.

 

seriously, skeet your dad is obviously rich, he's purchased at least two porsches, and he bought you a WRX while you're still in high-school, and you can't spell or put together a sentence for shit. and bigB, if you'd really driven a couple different porsches, i'd HOPE that you'd know that a 996 is the designation for the late model 911s.

 

the above listed have completly different body styles and one has a different platform altogether. the point i was getting at was all the porsche cars were basicly the same platfform. with different options.

 

Not so - in fact from the 993 to the 996 the car went from it's air cooled roots to a water pumper - from 911 to 964 went from torsion bars to coil overs - big changes from model to model.

 

yeah but same basic frame right?

i dont know shit about them but i assume the frames are similar.
when a company changes a model # it usaully redesigns the whole car from the ground up. i am arguing about something i am not educated on though. so i feel like i am in the special oylimpics.

so the first point was the subie is a better daily driver.

the second point was why is there a need for exesive model #'s when the same chasis is used time and again?

 

The different model designations such as 911, 930, 993, 996 etc each have a different chassis.

The only ones that were similiar were the 911s and 930s since the 930 was essentially a very modified 911. All the other model numbers represented big revisions to the original 911 chassis.
