Theres already been a talk about that car. My only complaint is he didnt use a factory CGT nose on it, Bar none that is the best front bumper on just about any car out there. I was looking at the SLR mclaren at aristocrat when I drove the cayenne, and while its amazing, it doesnt have a hardcore look to me. It had sweet side exhausts, and amzing rear taillights and diffuser, but it had so many fins it was weird. Amazing, but weird.

Something about that car just makes me drool, even if it is a fake.


Like I said, what bothers me is that the guy is trying to sell it as a SUPER CAR that's not REALLY a super car.


Like we are supposed to lie and tell everyone it is a super car even though it isn't. I don't want to do that.

it's still not as wide as a CGT.

was that a boxster S at least? Hehe common 50k for a wannabe supercar? Well just drive real slow like most ppl do around pasadena. Other reason why they have the law for no cruise zone :D Oh yeah and don't race cuz you'll lose every single one of it with your.....stuper-car hehe.

ummmm....taking a break from writing a paper.....thrilling sat night....but the white one........ewwwww................... :barf:

the black one, not bad at all, maybe its black and harder to see the lines on it....but again the white one looks terrible.....

I'm cool with people changing their cars around...cause if it looks dumb, to me, then I get something to laugh at....I personally think it's stupid to put the CGT badging all over it....but that's just me....

"yellowboxster01"

2004 Porsche Carrera GT
-External dimensions: overall width (inches): 75.6,

98 Boxster
-width is 70.1"
...and I know they added substabtially to the width of the kit cars...so one could make an edjucated guess that it is similar in width to the real deal.

you can see here that it does appear to be thinner but the replica does not look horribly out of proportion when it is not in the company of the real CGT.

...again I would never own a replica CGT anyway but it certainly is an interesting looking vehicle when you factor in a used/chopped boxster from a salvage yard for pennies on a dollar and then add this kit to it...fun to look at!
Now duplicating the sound would be an entirely different subject.

it would look better without the orange markers, chrome wheels, and boxster seats

Could be worse. Could be that Modena that was actually an MR2.

Incidentally, do they even make white supercars?

I totally agree with the chrome comment...

SC986 02-04-2007 02:58 PM

The 360 copy is really bad!

The black GT looks pretty good, not 50k worth but good. I think it would have been better to leave off the badges, leave it as a project car like a GT rather than trying to pretend you have one.
