Here's a video of it without the Turbo script. This was filmed by my buddy John when he was installing a supercharger on his 997. He shot a quick video with his iphone for a sound check when we were building the custom exhaust for it, so not the best quality.

The consensus within my peer group was that the cars were perfect in every way, except the stripes should go.

But hey, I'm in no position to judge. Far be it from me to tell someone else what to like. I like the green ok, just not the design of the stripes.

I don't see anything wrong with the color. To each their own. The porsche would be great in the solid color as long as it can stand up against a bully by leaving him in the dust. While the non liker thinks he doesn't like the car for its color he can add not liking be left in the dust to the list

How did the supercharger install go? Which one and how happy is he? Might add gas mileage for giggles.

It looks like a huge "Chase Me!" sign for the police to me, it would mke me stop and take a look and if it was in a car park I'd park and wait to see the owner.

Cool

I think it looks spectacular! Good for you! I get SO tired of endless acres of Porsches in bland shades of grey or black or dark blue. BORING! I also happen to like your choice of green as well.
