You should be able to get more out of the rear tires than 1K. Springs are not enough you need a coil over system or GT3 suspension kit.

He's got the 3.8 in it, so id say it can back up the badge. Maybe not suspension wise......

Porsche purists may frown upon being a "poser". If I had a GT2 bodykit put on I wouldn't stick a GT2 badge on the back cause I know its not a real GT2.

Nice!
What's the life span on a wrap? I live near the beach in Florida, so I'm afraid the sun and salt wouldn't be friendly to a wrap, but I am curious...

One can argue that GT3 from that generation never came in a widebody nor a 3.8L either.

Very nice color BTW.

From a purist point of view, anything that isn't the real thing, a real gt2 or gt3 is posing as one if it has the badge on it, yet it is not the true thing.

It goes back to the kit Ferrari. Just because it looks like the real thing, and some might go as far as sourcing a real Ferrari engine or better... it is posing as one, ie a "poser" because it is not the real thing.

No one is challenging what your car is capable of, they are pointing out the incorrectness of the badge. Don't take it as offensive and a challenge, because the point is true, anything claiming it be what it isnt is considered a poser.

On a lighter note, nice body work! Anyone else see any off the wall paint jobs or wraps around?

I am thinking a nice two-tone paint job, almost like the typical 50's american muscle car would look good too IF one could create the perfect dividing line to make the 2 colors flow like water.... Have not seen one yet that I like but... I bet there is one out there somewhere :-)
