i beg to differ, the fact that they are built to be cosmetically like a Porsche when they are not, to me means they try to introduce themselves as a real Porsche, to whoever sees em on the road...
Maybe it would be better if they have some speed striping written on the side, in big fluorescant letters " COVIN " or "FAKE PORSCHE"

I can understand it to some level with the 356 speedsters and the 550's... But it just generally bores me that each time i see some nice car like that, i have to ask the owner "is it a real one ?!?!?"... with 9/10 of the time, it ain't.

but 1/10 , asking the owner means you pretty much gotta ask him if he drives a fraud or the real thing, which i'm sure must be tedious if indeed he does drive the real thing..
