I'm curious how to tell the difference between years and models. For example, one of my areas of expertise is Lamborghini. I can tell years and models apart by lights, wheels, body changes, etc. Is there a resource online that shows those for various Porsches? Sort of like a cheat sheet. Thanks.

TS?

I guess you want it to be pretty meticulous ... you can most likely already tell a 964 from a 993.

Sounds really lame ... but wiki is actually quite helpful. Supercars.net also has a very complete database.

Get ready for a mental workout if you start getting into the first generations of 911s. It is ridiculous, completely overwhelming.

there is a great book, called The Porsche Red Book, that you should pick up. IIRC less than $15 and it goes over 911's 65 to the 997.1 generation. there are a few other good "history of" books out there, as far as websites go, I have quite a bit of factory info at my disposal, so I have as strong a need. wikipidia believe it or not is a good start, despite some of the errors.
