Wow

So, the south parking lot is resurfaced today of all days, and I'm relegated to the back lot. Not an issue, it's hot and I fire up to leave and as I drive away, across from our shipping lot is a trucker, car hauler, moving his load around. Porsche Turbo S 993 GT2 perhaps? Beautiful car. Promised the driver not to slobber on it and took a few pix, Shelby GT500E and others. All in all, 1.1 million in 6 cars going from one coast to another. Ill post pix of the Porsche if I can get them uploaded from my phone..of course, someone may hack the cloud for THIS car porn

Hope it uploads. As I said, a beautiful car. Perhaps someone can give me the scoop on model, year and such

No idea, but I love red cars.

Just dreamin' here, but if I had that car I'd get rid of the tail and put on some Fuchs wheels. I don't like those wheels and the body of that car is beautiful, but unbalanced by the tail sticking out.

Where would you fit the intercooler with no tail? And how would you keep it from being really ass happy?

It would go plenty fast enough for me without being intercooled, and ass-happy? I'm used to 356s. I can handle that.

993 Turbo S

That's a $100-150k car if original.

I think Porsche put that tail on it to balance out that ugly, bulbous, Viper-like nose.

But I wouldn't kick it out of my garage... if it wasn't red... I'm not a red car kinda guy.

Yeah, Porsches never came with big tails sticking out ...

Would all be okay if you had a 993S here but like it was mentioned before, there is heat exchangers that need that room under the spoiler - plus, the down force will be appreciated!
