Relax pal. It's just too aggressive for a non GT3 997 imo. dj asked for OPINIONS, capiche?

Too agressive? That hasn't stopped Misha from selling a pile of giant wings to non gt3/turbo owners

I made a comment on another forum about how these cars should have the HP to back up an agressive wing...you'd think I had been talking about their moms' with the respsonse i got

I love the look on the front. The wing looks too big, but it is growing on me. All this talk about how it needs to be a GT3 to have a wing is a bunch of sh__.

The GT3 has 380 hp; one less than an X51 997S. It might be a few pounds lighter, but I'm into comfort. By the way, the X51 has more torque than a GT3. I'm not banging the GT3, I'm just trying to put this in perspective. After all, you are all pro racers, right? The few extra HP and weight difference matter so much as to dish the 997 with an aerokit? Come on guys.

My previous post is barely an argument. It never came to my mind as that, however the word "gay" or "gross" came straight out from the post on the other thread where those were making fun of the 996 cab. Go check it out yourself if you didn't do it already.

I just find it funny in a way of how GT3 owners (not saying you but just the ones that posted on that thread) get very offended when they see a GT3 badge on a non GT3 car. I can understand but the way they make fun of it doesn't really make sense because both the car is 996. It to me is like making fun of their own car in a way.

But just out of curiousity why do you think that it is ok for a GT3 but why is it too aggressive for a regular 997 CS when shape of the car is exactly the same? This is very interesting to me.
