I didn't see a single pic of her rear. Why so much hate towards the girl?

I looked at many pictures of her from different angles... didn't really see one that I disapproved of.

What pics? It's a video. What hate? Everything is hate if I don't worship her I guess? Simp all you want.

The 908 had an ugly ass prominent posterior.

I tend to agree but, my question is, does it improve the aerodynamics of the car? Porsche isn't known to screw the pooch on that to my knowledge.

The 908 long tail had a slight advantage at high speeds because of a lower drag coefficient, but also caused some handling issues. In the end (ha ha), it was not worth it.
A story kind of like the "dust bin" fairings that were tried briefly in moto GP in the '50s, but not quite as squirrelly.

This relates to the Kamm tail discussion that we had here a while back.

I took this picture of a factory 908 LH being pushed by some unhappy Germans at Daytona in 1969:

Actually I'll take both. I like the car better than many new designs, although I am not crazy about it. It is more curvy, less angular. I like curvy.

I don't like the "shark fin" thing, though. I understand they were trying to emulate an LMP car, but I think LMP cars are ugly.

The only Porsche I ever really liked was the 904. That was a beautiful car.

I agree with this. Just something about this car that stirs up a good feeling about a drive on some curvy roads. I don't need to go fast, I just like to feel like I am in a go-cart. This car has that look. The silver is a great color too, seems like it shows off it's lines. Yes there are more reliable cars faster cars and flashier cars but this one is is one of those "just right" kinda cars.
