It seems like anyone with a 550 (real or replica) these days has a James Dean fixation. I don't get it.

I've always been more impressed by the guys who could drive one.

I have seen alot of 550 replicas but this is a slighly different version. they changed it up a bit giving it a hot rod flare, maybe thats why a lil bastard.

anyways 550 spyder replicas that look better than this go for $20-$30K new

That's not a particulary good replica... the rear end is all wrong.

The Becks are rated the best by far, in fact they're better cars than the originals - chassis, brakes, engine, handling, faster.

becks cost 20-30k, the original P 550 spyders cost millions.. Why get a Beck when you can buy a nice 986 Boxster S...

Buying a beck is like buying a fake rolex!? posuer..
