I don't own a Porsche, but I came across this blog article. I thought it was pretty interesting, so I thought I'd pass it along.

Air-Cooled Porsche 911 Generations Explained

The air-cooled 911 has a long and complicated history. Here's a brief look at the four distinct generations and how each is very different under the skin.

Its crazy how the "same" car can be so different.

The 87-89's really have their own feel. The G50 transmission plays a part in this. Sort of the beginnings of becoming a grand touring car. Comfort was higher on the priority list, rather than just being all business. A bit less raw perhaps? I'm not sure how to describe it.

The automotive nerd in me loves torsion bar suspensions, so elegantly simply and effective.
