Make Your Own Minds up....

"Porsche Purists" can get them removed, apparently.... Car seems sound otherwise

Well the "decal" gives the impression that this car was run over by a hummer........so I can't imagine anyone, purest or not, would want them on the car.......

Oops, PorKen beat me to it.......

Is that the 928 from Cannonball Run II that was run over by bigfoot? Or was that car black?

My rule of thumb is to "decorate your home, not your car" If it isn't functional, it doesn't get added.

First thing I did on my Chevy truck is peel the 4x4 stickers off. It was misleading anyway, that truck is a 3x4 at best, the G-wagen is the only true 4x4, and it don't need no stinkin' stickers

Gemballa Biturbo GTR?

WTF?

That sticker is most likely misleading.

The skid mark sticker is just stupid and ugly.

I wonder why they think they will get more money for the car with the stupid stickers on it?
If I had stickers like that, I would be removing them prior to sale...

Yeah, my 928 has lots of tire marks on the hood, but unfortunately not as nicely arranged as on this car.

Well, you know, when I come home with my Hummer H1 and turn into the driveway, I often can't see the 928 parked there - it's just too low! Sometimes one of my wheels rolls over the front of the 928. Not a problem - the Hummer has 4-wheel drive and has never gotten a scratch from it.

Now, if anybody could tell me how to get those tire marks off the 928, that would be nice...

Did Gemballa ever even make a twin turbo car?

I know Strosek did some supercharged cars, and there was that one dual roots car.
But wasn't Calloway the only one to do twin turbos?

Gemballa generally was known for their interior work...
And this car doesn't even look like it has a Gemballa interior, much less a twin turbo...

The sad thing about stickers like that, is that people will go around saying how easy it was to walk away from a twin turbo 928....
