After watching the video and seeing it rolling - it's actually not that bad looking. Matt looks good in it.

The man has a pink car. So what. He'll dump it in a year and get something else. Somewhere out there is a Python Green Spyder with a red top and red interior and yellow calipers.

It's not about it being pink. Doubtful he'll give it up any time soon, given the 4.5L, what it took to get it, and his 2+ years with both his 328 and Countach. Not many options for NA, mid-engine manuals, with 500+ HP.

I think this car looks banging with the colour and interior. And is a 4.5L manual spyder so is there anything better? no.

says himself it's a car that people make fun of being feminine, in a feminine colour. no sheet given

IMO if the car had black calipers it would tone done the color. The performance is what's make the car special !

Agree with this. I appreciate the juxtaposition of the spec, versus the engine upgrade. He clearly gets a kick out of it!

What I like is what Matt says just after he arrives and says, "What-up!" ...
  • It's the best chassis Porsche makes
  • The roof comes off
  • The size is perfect for the road
  • The shape is gorgeous
  • It's a stick shift
Pretty much how I think about my Spyder.

2,899 lbs!? Try 3,205 lbs with manual and almost 3,300 lbs with PDK. The Spyder is a porker for what it is....

Color aside, not getting PCCBs with the Deman engine a mistake? That’s +165hp over the “regular” engine.

He has the PCCbs I believe. They weren't available when he ordered initially due to the parts shortage but I believe he had Deman put them on and change the color of the calipers

Interesting. So why does Porsche quote so much higher? What are your options?
