Rice Dickhead would be great! Just think how much fun it would be to pull in with as a Concours entry. I can see the old, old guys with the 356s having heart attacks now.

Well, you asked for our opinions. Taking a classic car like a 911 and pimping it out with "upgrades" is a disgrace in my opinion. An insult to the marque.

I'll never understand all you guys that like to mess with your 911's. That's what POS Fords and Chevys are for. Why can't you just enjoy it the way it came?

Mike, he must have seen the new neon you had planned for the next "wash and shine".

Dude...

So when Porsche "pimps out" a regular old 911 into a GT1 or GTS or Carrera RS or RSR, or does a Speedster, or maybe a turbo or anything that is not the stock 911 this is bad?

If Mike had bolted on an aluminum Pepboys tail and tossed in a V8 then maybe you could talk. I think all of the things he's done to his car are well within a reasonable realm of honoring the Marque...

BTW Mike, I like the ne red script, but I must say I agree its a bit narrow and too high. You could always paint your bumps red...

And the wing... Looks great, especially because it used to be mine!!!

Porschenut: is this "pimped out" to you?

That's trick as hell. However for street use I'd be on the ducktail.

As for the rest of the discussion. Cast anothr ballot for "stock sux"

Relax dudes. There are many ways to enjoy a Porsche. Mine is one, yours is another. My opinion was solicited and provided, and I never got personal. You did.

Your opinion was solicited about two different color stripe mods.....not whether you approved of the engine and body modifications. If I wanted a stock car I would be driving a Volvo wagon.

How about this Mike? Move the red stripe down a little and paint the rear bumper matching red - sorry for the crude PS skillz!

Oh and I still like the duck better - even if you didn't ask.
