Talk:Porsche 911 (993)

message: Converted the info box back to previous version. A lot of information would have been deleted which had required some significant research. Further, I do not see the authority of a "standard info car box" layout imposed by some individual. Keep the pluralism in Wikipedia!
:I think a more "standard" infobox would be more familiar to readers when navigating from Porsche car page to car page.  Please see Porsche Carrera GT, Porsche Cayenne, Porsche Cayman, Porsche Boxster, Porsche 997, Porsche 996, Porsche 964, Porsche 930, Porsche 928, Porsche 968, Porsche 944, Porsche 924, Porsche 912, Porsche 959, Porsche 914.  Or, look at any Ferrari page, like Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari F50, Ferrari F40.  Why do they all look similar?  Because it aids reader familiarity.  The extraneous information in the Porsche 993 infobox should be moved either to Porsche (the manufacturer addr info) or into the body of the page.  The infobox should be concise, as a source of quick reference, not a complete spec.  Also, I think the Porsche_993#Performance sections should be nuked--this isn't Road & Track magazine.

replies: text: Also, the "standard" infobox has predecessor/successor links (where applicable).  This enables users to track a line of cars.  Try moving forward from Porsche 930 to Porsche 997. Well, the link breaks at Porsche 993.  This is confusing. K3rb 01:57, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Infobox 

message: The list of similar cars in the Infobox is now too long and seems to include any automobile capable of going quite fast. Should we not be listing models which potential buyers would have considered in preference to a new 993? Both the M3 and Skyline GT-R are variants of a front-engined family sedans, and the Corvette, RX-7 and 300ZX were several price brackets below; no 911 buyer at the time would have given any of these cars even half a glance. My suggestion is to remove all in the list bar the Ferrari 348, Ferrari F355, Aston-Martin DB7 and perhaps the Dodge Viper. Any others? --ThwartedEfforts 14:33, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

message: :My opinion is that wording like reliable, safe and fast, or supremely fast are subjective and should be removed.

thread_title:  Word removal 

message: I did a mild cleanup of this article.  I removed ALOT of weasel words (removed 3-4 uses of the word 'Legendary').  rephrased alot of sentences, to sound less subjective.  i also removed the whole "Historical Perspective" section.  all text in that section was extremely subjective and ALL opinion-based, there was also some info that was already mentioned in other sections.  im not sure how that section stayed up for as long as it did.  it was so weasely and subjective i wouldnt feel good about it being on a 993 Fansite.

thread_title:  Mild cleanup 

message: In the variant section - shouldn't the 993 Cup 3.8, sometimes called the Supercup, get a mention? --Falcadore (talk) 02:11, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  No Cup 3.8? 

message: Your reference #24 (April 12, 2017) seems incorrect. I have searched my R and T library and in the March/April 2017 issue there is nothing on the 993. Also, there is no April 12 issue. Maybe your citation was from a different car magazine, or different R&T issue? I’d like to read the review you make reference to. Thanks. Pathos8150 (talk) 03:38, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
