Here's a radical thought...

The guy forked over his cash like the rest of us. If it makes him happy, he can leave his spoiler up, paint the car pink, add a vinyl roof and put on spinners. He may, in fact, be a poseur but who really cares.

On second thought, if he had the vinyl roof I WOULD care. That's just not right.

Isn't a poser someone who purchases a sports car capable of 177+mph in a country that has as it's highest speed limit 75mph. Why pose on the highway as if you are in Germany during the week and then pose even more on the weekend as a Leman's racer in a assembly line production car?

Like you say guys we are all posers. Long live the posers. I usually pose by whipping someones *** on the motorway , BTW my wing is most definately up when I do that.

What a lame thread ! Discussing the poser-ity (new word!) of keeping the wing up or down. Sigh.... Can't we leave something just for passion or asthetics ? And it DOES increase the down force and it IS a factory option !

Now,
Is the added downforce required ? No ..
Is the added asthetics required ? No ...
Is the power of a 996 required on street ? No ...

Some thing are pure passion, pure asthetics ... live and let live.

cheers

I track mine all the time. Does that take me off the poser list?

Naw, you have a cab. That automatically puts you at the top of the poseur list, followed by everyone who has a tip, carbon fiber, cup holders, weighs more than 2,500 lbs, sunroof, stock suspension, rear seats, air conditioning, navigation, targa top, everyone who has the Illy dash-mounted espresso maker rather than the Braun, yadda yadda yadda.

Dude you're the biggest poser. A real racer would have a dedicated gutted track car set up for the Touring or GT Class not an "off the rack" Porsche!!

I must admit that this is a stupid thread, but like a train wreck, I can't take my eyes off it

washington dc porsche -- What's up with you? Your an angry dude. The Professor has probably logged more track miles than you have seen in your rides to Starbucks for latte with your pretty car. Get over yourself calling him out

My switch is not working so I couldn't even pose if I want. But its a good way to let the engine cool down when parked.

ya gotta be kidding me. It is obvious that washington dc porsche is joking around. It's called sarcasm. Learn it. Enjoy it. <--- see the smiley. It means that I am not being entirely serious.

In any event, LV Dell is no wilting lilly. I doubt that he needs any defenders. Besides, he is a cab driver, he deserves all the crap he gets <--- see the smiley, it means I am intentionally harassing Dell in good nature.
