I agree, as stated in my last post. Do whatever you want. You just look stupid to MOST enthusiasts that's main goal is NOT showing off.
I went back to the eBay add, and I didn't see where he was pawning off a C2 as a GT3. A word search didn't turn it up either. Maybe he edited the add, not sure. I did see pictures of a GT3 badge and centercaps. But I seriously doubt any purchaser would be fooled, much less an enthusiast. In any event, I did see lots of references to Supercharged this or that. Maybe he should add a disclaimer. Or maybe he is targeting the "show off crowd" Then the GT3 badge is good marketing.

IMO, looking stupid on purpose is just another choice in life. Hell, I've done it enough on accident to know that it doesn't make a bit of difference in the long run. But, just for the record, when the enthusiasts start paying my mortgage and saving for my kids college education, I'll consider what they have to say

Put your name back there if you want - of course, if you have a long name, it'll cost ya...

GT3 Poser is a sweet deal at 525 €. But they screw you on shipping. Geesh.\

(GT3 Wannabe is 625 €)

sorry Ben, gonna have to add you to my "ignore list" so I stop having the ability to read your posts. PM me when you start making contributions to this forum rather than telling people to chill and make claims without knowing facts. I liked you better when you were not a paying member.

Dell,

He'll have to PM someone to PM you, since "ignore" also catches PM's. Don't you love how that ignore works

Boy, I see we have been having fun today.

I think we're mostly in agreement, but I'm amazed that we up to 70 posts on the subject. Pimping up your car for your personal use is fine, just don't try to sell it that way - remove the bling and revert it back to the nice looking beast that it should be. In this case, a fine looking C2.

Thanks for the head up td. Ben, what td said. You have to get hold of a mediator.
