That car is a paint to sample. They actually ordered the car specifically with that combo!

Damn, I hope the curb did not smack the motor, or the transmission...sucks enough as it is. 'A little hot' around that turn...it is not, as much as it may feel like it, on rails.

The driver was just trying to take care of the remaining 50% of the value that the depreciation of driving it off the lot didn't get.

I love the color scheme BTW... Way too many boring grey/silver cars out there,red and white are played out and black always looks filthy. Nice to see some originality.

The driving skills OTOH? Not so much.

I'm guessing the drivers seat will need to be "re-done".

Sweet car- and repairable no doubt. Glad I never wrecked a car...oh wait..

Problem with the GT3s are they are so good that when they inevetibly lose traction, you are going to be in a world of hurt. The dealer here actually discourages folks from buying these to use for drivers education as you can get in way over your head very quickly and when they crash, it is always a very bad crash.

In the right hands, they are incredible. In the hands of mere mortals, they can be very dangerous. The guy was lucky it wasn't worse!

Obviously it was a manufacturing defect, or the dealership was negligent in putting an obviously unqualified driver in such a powerful automobile. Either way, Porsche should be sued into oblivion.

That looks like it might be around Kingwood, those must be some mighty stout wheels.

I sure hope the driver gets cited for reckless driving. WAY to fast for street driving.

Man if they went to all that trouble to put in "Front Axle Lifting System", why would they only make it an inch and a half?

Maybe a careless owner would forget and get out on the autobahn with it in the 'up' position and get airborne or something . . . .

I have air suspension on a vehicle and I can tell you that if you try to move it a bunch you will need much heavier components and it will take up a ton of room. I'd say that amount is ideal.

That's a bad day.

Also, I like the blue paint. The red graphics aren't my cup of tea, I would have gone with white to go with the blue.
