DJ 03-01-2006 09:18 AM

One more shot :)

Thank you!!

I have to admit that this car is FUGLY and it looks like some random aftermarket company just bolted on a gimmicky cheap KIT ... Oh well :(

spidey 03-01-2006 09:30 AM

I think i'll have to wait 5 years for the 998 turbo (or whatever it will be called!!)

MGoBlue 03-01-2006 09:33 AM

I love it for what it is, but they could have done a better job on the exterior.

cancel your order... let someone who loves the car get it sooner :)

Rims gotta go
 
Think the OEM rims take alot from the car s looks.Real sad IMHO

DJ 03-01-2006 10:09 AM

I love the ar except for the front nose and the OEM wheels.
Basically an easy fix since you know one of the tuners will come up with a great nose, my guess if RUF will make something great.

maxwell 03-01-2006 10:37 AM

DJ, so right. Put a RUF RT nose on it, and some wheels and it will look bad ass. That whole turnsignal foglight thing is just a disaster.

Ouch. I would expect some cosmetic changes for the 08 model...

Maybe it's better in person. The wheels don't help. What happened to the clean porsche look?

GreggT 03-01-2006 10:56 AM

I've been saying........the only good view, is the side view.

I take that back.

Change of color & change of wheels = "Porsche Hotness"
Ok, ok, the wing is still up for discussion :rolleyes:

x2...

silver is the worst on any intro car..

swordsman 03-01-2006 12:52 PM

Sorry but not really feeling it. Sometimes I wonder why do we need to slap on aftermarket kit & wheels to make our TT look hot...when Gallardo or F430 looks great right out of the box?

techart 996 #3 03-01-2006 02:28 PM

So far I havent like the look of it in any of the pics Ive seen. I dont think a real life view will change my opinion. Cant wait for fellow 6 speeders to get one and write up the preformance though. I trust that more than any car mag. I'm also very interested in what TA will do with it. I like the Ruf and Gemballa exterior versions better than the stock. Its nice to know that there are alternatives.

Totally in agreement here. I got used to the front bumper and the wheels but this rear bumper!

iLLM3 03-01-2006 02:51 PM

Well i must admit, the cars advanced characteristics are appealing, but i cant say im a fan of the styling :confused:

i'm almost set on those 997 Carrera Sport wheel but i just saw some Buick Lucerne Sport wheel on the way to work! hilarious

Griza 03-01-2006 03:09 PM

It is a very "busy" Design. There are slits and slats all over the place and the wheels just magnify it by a hundred. Different, more simple wheels and a different color and I think it will look much better.

JoeyG 03-01-2006 05:31 PM

Not a fan. Do you have any pics of the 599 GTB Fiorano?

JonA4 03-02-2006 11:55 AM

Silver is not the color for that car, which is a shame because when I think of Porsche, I think of silver. I actually like the front and rear bumbers. The wheels on the other hand...

TheJudge 03-02-2006 07:33 PM

Tell me its still camoed. Wow. Its hard to look at. I am honestly trying my hardest to love it because its the new tt and thats a big deal, but wow is it ugly. The side intake is horrendous. The exhaust is terrible and the front bumper could not be worse. WTF? Nobody likes it. How could such a car be disliked by so many on the forum? I can't even look at it without grimacing.

DJ 03-02-2006 08:34 PM

Judge the answer for you is simple - a 997 carrera sent to ruf :)

To each his own.
Looks unfinished to me.
.........haphazzard cut-outs for tailpipes, with oddly shaped black surrounds..........widened duck tail's disproportionate size.
Has anyone in the design team actually stepped up admitting they were the point person on the 997 update project?

I doubt it.........looks like a committee effort.
