Here's my opinion on replica's, if you're going to make one at least make it the correct size. The CGT is a big car whereas the Boxster is not. It's like the people who make Countachs on a Fiero frame and don't stretch it or anything, looks ridiculous. Another thing that really gets to me is people that make replicas of cars that are super rare. For instance there's a guy here that has a 288GTO replica, I mean come on that car is a million plus if you can find one. What are the chances that you'll ever see one, pretty much noda.

The only Porsche replica that stands out in my book as a cool car is the Beck replicas and that's more of a reproduction than a replica. Everything on that car is to specs of the original. Although the 356 widebody is a cool looking car to me.

I remember back in the early to mid 90's there was a 500SL replica built on a Lebaron chassis. Always made me laugh, so you get a German looking car on a crappy American chassis. Cool.

That black Carroxster looks ok but, it's nothing I'd do to my car.
