Carrera GT Poser

I agree with cfos. This car is ugly, poorly constructed (check out how non-symmetrical the wheel wells are), way out of proportion (look at how small those 19" wheels look on it!), and the guy is obviously lying about everything (he's owned 8 Boxsters, Ferrari, Lambo, and has the writing style of a child), etc., etc., etc.,

HOWEVER .... I can't roll my eyes any more at him than I can at someone who upgrades their seats, lights, wheels, etc., things I may do someday. It's all personal preference as to where you draw the line between "ok" mods and "not ok" mods.

I agree with Yellowjacket and cfos. I don't see anything wrong with it. I wouldn't do that with a car, but it looks like he did quite a bit of work on that Boxster. And at least he didn't rice it out. The car is tasteful, IMHO.

Body kits, etc., are an acquired taste, I guess, but the thing that would bother me is the wheelbase has apparently been STRETCHED by a foot, according to the endless description that accompanies the ad. I can only imagine what this would do to the finely balanced handling of the original car, not to mention chassis ridgidity..

If the CGT didn't exist, I would be all over that.


But the fact it is trying to fool people into thinking it's a CGT would make me not want it.

But it is hot.

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 Oh yeah and don't race cuz you'll lose every single one of it with your.....stuper-car hehe.

LOL - too true

I think the car looks pretty good. Not something I would do myself, but I like the look of it.

My post isn't implying that it is not OK to modify the car. There is a big difference between doing mods for personal taste and trying to turn a car into something it isn't. THIS car has a Carrera GT badge on the back. His efforts to modify this car were strictly based on creating a 'poser' of another car. Same as the BMW 325i owners who debadge then add an M Badge they bought off of e-bay.

I'm all for modifications, I am planning to do some myself, but I'm certainly not going to turn my Boxster into a Ferrari Modena.

....and I think the car looks horrible, it doesn't seem to be correctly proportioned and if you went over 100mph pieces would probably start falling off.

instead of getting thumbs up, u get the other way around, even after all the money that was dumped into it. <--- i think i found my new definition of rice
