"Perhaps the fastest Porsche Twin Turbo in the United States" - eBay ad

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/630HP...QQcmdZViewItem



What a moron. So many things wrong with this ad:

1. It's an automatic
2. No details about the modifications. No brands, parts, prices...nothing.
3. For sale by a dealer. Usually enthusiasts sell their cars on the private market, particularly with big $ mods that dealers give them nothing for.

So is the point of this ad that anyone can modify their 996tt in any way, term it a "Stage 4" upgrade, and perhaps have the fastest Porsche Twin Turbo in the United States??

Perhaps, if you push it out of an airplane.

Perhaps someone will buy this car, join 6speedonline, and then find out that it's not the fastest TT after all...we'll have to wait and see

The car looks good and seems to be a reasonable buy if indeed it is clean. Needs to be checked out very closely. "Fastest car" claim though makes you wonder whether all the other info is just as accurate, who knows?

I don't know about being the fastest, but it is a nice TT.

I'd buy it and rip all that aero kit crap off. It makes the car look cheesy because you can tell and see it's a glue on kit.

No like the wheels and interior. Needs full carbon and/or some aluminum trim work.

Agreed with Wardhog and Steve! The exterior looks too aftermarket or pieced on, i hate those LM's in black too, doesnt look to good overall! This car has been up for sale on cars.com FOREVER!
