Can anyone give some info on the spoilers on the silver 964 pictured? What's with that huge rear wing? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

That is a 993GT-2 wing with side plates to elevate the wing element. It is ridiculous if the car is never driven at the track.

That is a spoiler from a GT2 Evolution Series 2. Here's a picture of a model. Sorry for the bad quality.

Viken,
Would it be accurate to say the silver 993 in his pics isn't a GT-2 since it doesn't have the flares.
Not sure if that was an option on those cars or std.

Greg,

That is exactly what I was thinking. Especially, since this car appears to be based on a widebody. The original GT2 without flares was a narrow body but the one with the added flares (Evo) was a widebody. At least, that has been my understanding.

the silver car pictured is not a gt2 its a 993 twin turbo that has gt2 front and rear wing with engine upgrades pushing power up to about 480 bhp as far as i know.The car is incredibly quick from what i saw.The interior has the same seats as my car and is pretty stripped out.As far as my car being a club sport yes it is/was the person who owned the car before me had it fitted back to daily driveable spec taking out the cage and fire extinguisher.I have all the parts but am not sure whether i want to refit them just yet.And for those who belive that the wing on that turbo is a bit much the guy primarily uses it for trackdays and hell he seems to like the wing
