Carrera GT.......sort of

Anyone see this? Although the differences are obvious, looks like a pretty decent build......

Roof looks kinda stupid. Way out of proportion.

I agree. The roof is too tall and rounded. Interesting nonetheless though.....

No way. I'd rather have a stock bottom of the barrel Boxster (or my NARP for that matter) than a fake CGT. Sure you'll look cool to the 12 year old kids, but you'll look like a poseur to adults that know better.

Thumbs down IMHO.

I kinda like it, sort of. I wouldn't buy one but I don't diss it.
The only part I hate is this view:



Looks ridiculous with that stuff in the back window, kinds like a red batmobile. the other views aren't all that bar. At least they didn't build it out of a fiero

I think it looks good. Its still Porsche based, and the job looks well finished. A bit flashy for my taste, but well done.

Actually the ad says its a Porsche V6. Must be a new top secret motor.
Reminds me of all the "exotics" built on a VW Bug chassis: you know what it was supposed to be but they didn't quite make it.

Why would you destroy a Boxster like this? It's obviously not a real CGT, you end up looking like the world's biggest try-hard.

Wow, what a goofy POS. It even has the fake color-coded center lock wheel "caps". Does it come with gold (plated) chains, hair gel, and a can of spray-on tan too?
