Exclamation Where are the Ducktails!?

Has no one ordered a new 991 with one yet? I think it looks amazing. Can't find it on the configurator anymore.

I love the ducktail. I've got a Cab on order...I wonder if it would look good on a cab...and if it could be retrofitted...

Can definitely be retrofitted later, but I've heard that for aerodynamic saftey reasons the dealers won't do a ducktail without also doing a new front splitter (which I don't think looks as good)

If anyone has one, it would be interesting to see a picture of the front end.

I assumed that it does not deploy at all -- fixed wing?

I'd prefer a smaller rounder more vintage type ducktail personally. Ala Sport Classic maybe?

what about to access the stuff under?

all motors and so forth will still be present, im sure since its mounted to something that moves it can still move if needed.

The ducktail is now in the US configurator.

It's back on the configurator.

If you don't order this option I'm going to find you and punish you.

I want like the 991 duck tail, because I am such a fan of the original duck tail. But it does not work for me. It is too far back and too curved. IMO, the 997 Sport Classic duck tail is delicious.
