F50, CGT and that RSR are nice, but if I was Ash this would still be top of my list...

I would just go for a GT3 with cage and buckets. More fun and useable on raod and track (IMO) and about £50k less than a GT2 (which will depreciate twice as fast!!!)

Is this the new one? (sorry, don't know my Porkers very well boxedin)



Saw it yesterday and it looked stunning, the pic doesn't do it justice.

It definitely beats the Noble, Mosler and F50 for most outrageous spoiler, although I assume this is not standard?

I saw that one yesterday, Silverstone.

Thought of leaving a note for the owner begging him/her to let me have it at a knock down price.

That rear spoiler looks like it was designed by Wayne in Halfords.

Martin.

I think it was Waynetta, actually. Wayne never learned how to hold a pencil.

No thats the old one with a ridiculous wing bolted on.

Just back from a 10 day Euro trip with 5 other guys+other halfs in a convoy of 996 GT3s, 997 GT3 RSs & an m5 touring. Was utterly brilliant and the car was immense in all conditions, from the Stelvio Pass to the ring. Amazing how 10 days constant wheel time of press on driving tests a car and it exceeded all expectations. An awesome bit of kit.

p.s. I think Kurgen on here is selling his modified 996 GT2. An immense bit of kit if you like to make time on the straights not the corners wink I would have loved it on this trip, that overtaking power would have been unstoppable.

Give him some credit, he did learn to use a crayon if he held it in his fist, so its possible he did still design the spoiler.

I loved how beefy the whole car looked though, it did looked very purposeful. However I certainly would not buy one with their price tag. It just seems ridiculous to pay £120k ?? for a car that is still basically a 911, maybe thats why Wayne designed the spoiler, to say "look, it's not a normal 911, it cost me a lot more and goes much faster (well did until I bolted the Grandstand seating for Copse to the back of my car)".
