I am definitely not a fan. It's a huge step backwards aesthetically.

As for the car... Looks bad ***, but I think that is one of those cars you just don't touch!!
Evan
I agree!!!

I'll start....
Sacrilege!!!
Leave that car alone....I wonder what kind of aerodynamic tests they have done Probably tested on a drawing table...

While it looks good in the pics, I would never mess with the pure balanced aerodynamics that Porsche built into that car with a real wind tunnel. That's something that I am sure Techart and Gemballa does NOT do.

I agree wholeheartedly. Wouldn't trust Gemballa or Techart to do aero work. They just don't have the $$$$ or expertise.

And what about Porsche not being able to invest the money because if they raised the price then they would sell fewer.

Ben, this is not a flame, but where did you obtain the information about Techart's aerodynanics background (employee's and one owner) and their testing criteria? A little investigation is in order.

The only thing worse that could happen would be the installation of a turbo or supercharger...

perfection is in the eye of the beholder. There are many out there that thing a TT is perfectly fine stock.



If people didn't go beyond and dabble in different areas the tuning market wouldn't be anything like it is.


I welcome those that will put some snails on the CGT.
