I love this car Brian! Actually, it' the car that made me decide to pull the trigger on a 964 rather than a 993. Today, I made arrangements for transport of the car. Should be here within the next 10 days. Woo hoo! Can't wait to contact you for a set of Rotiform wheels!

Just my thoughts with respect to the people who say Dr Porsche sent it out of the factory, and that way was perfect.
Porsche make and sell a mass produced car. It has to appeal to as wide a market so possible, albeit in a niche market. Therefore it has to have compromises.
If Porsche sent out a car as low as that it would be slammed (excuse the pun
) by the media as being unusable in the real world everyday use. It would struggle with speed humps, be more difficult to get in and out of, and the ride would be harsh.
Brian has chosen to accept those downsides, in order to get the upsides that he considers important to him, which are the visual appeal and the obvious fact that the lower the centre of gravity, the better the car should turn and handle.

I wanted to put "presumably which", but for some reason it wouldn't let me add any more text. I cannot speak for Brian what reasons he made the alterations.
However, I personally think its great. Arguably (although we've had enough arguments in this thread) a work of art.
