No one mistook my car for a Ferrari, but in the past 17 months of ownership, I have had at least 5 people ask me if it was a 911 Turbo, including a mechanic.

Some people don't realize Porsche makes other cars besides the 911 Turbo.

Good for you. When I sold my Alfa, after the new owner drove away I changed my phone number and painted my house a different color .

Yeah, I could see how people mistake a Boxster for a Ferrari , because of the horse , that's why I put a "Maui turtle" on the rear bumper - that and it
hides a scratch.

I have a question 'bout your red horse (308?). I notice Ferrari doesn't incorporate a rear spoiler like others do. Are they not worried about planting the rear tires at high speeds? I find it a major safety factor.

The 308 doesn't go fast enough to need a spoiler .

Remember that the 308 GTS was sold from 78-84 when aero downforce effects were often ignored. Ask Dan Gurney about the Porsche 917. He said it was more like flying than driving.
