Weird roofline.

 

Yup, the roofline looks fux0red.

 

fix the ass.. ew

 

Yeah, guys over at the Rennteam forum (which you have to register at to see attachments... :noway: ) are divided on the issue. Some hate it (like me) others love the car outright.

i think they goofed up on the air inlets too--made 'em look like a Tiburon. And the placement of the fog lights... well, rather 4G, if you know what I mean. :lol:

Here's the rennteam thread with all the pictures, but yeah, you have to register:

I think the ass is actually its best angle. I like the flying buttress look.

 

Oh, and let's not get started on the Flower Power wheels...

But hey, at least this all means no Buyer's Remorse for me!!

 

I like it more. :dunno:

 

Yeah, no accounting for taste.

[random weird type comment that seems to appear in the threads like this] I would rather have the Tiburon you could put a turbo on it and be a lot faster and with the money you saved you could buy a STi [/random weird type comment that seems to appear in the threads like this]

 

:lol: totally.

 

Poor Sam has been forced to disclaimer his sarcasm!

 

I like the car, but it looks too much like the 911 and Boxster to me :dunno: I really like the ass end of that thing though :yesway: That roofline is definitely a bit jacked :stickpoke

:agreed: I think it's hawt :yesway:

:-/ I know, it's a sad day.

 

$8000 more than the Boxster S? Doesn't that put it within $10k of a base rear-drive 911 Carrera? As for the styling, I do like it outside of the Lancer-Evo-IX-esque foglights and, yeah, that side profile's roofline is too reminiscent of a VW Beetle.

 

Yeah, it puts it within spitting range. $8000 more for 15 hp. Another $10,000 or so for another 30.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

ceramic brakes.

 

Those are an option, and whaddayaknow, they do cost about $8000. :lol:

yep. any yellow caliper on a porsche is the ceramic brakes. they WERE $10K and optional on everything except the GT2. they are standard on that. I've only seen them on 3 cars in person ever. two were tubo 911s one was the GT2.

The ceramic brakes were also standard on the GT3, if I remember correctly.

eh i'd have to look but I don't think so. if they're not standard on a 130K turbo I don't think they would be on a 99K gt3. but I could be wrong. there's a first time for everything.

red calipers.

yellow is optional though.

they come standard on the turbo S too. wierd thing is though if you go to build a porsche you can't build a GT2. did they stop building them this year because of the design change?

 

I've seen them on quite a few cars, which is funny because they're SO unnecessary for street use!
