First time I've seen your car. Part of it. Nice!

Nice SPASM lip in the front. Looks better than the standard one.

Nice pics.

What a race, too!

This underscores how much the 991 looks like the 356 front. More so than 911 to my eyes.

Amazing pics. Love seeing the classics side by side with the current models, as it really makes you appreciate the evolution of this timeless and classic design.
