I'm also not sure what qualifies as a tribute car. To me, a GT3 tribute car would be a car that started life as a 911 and was retrofitted with all of the bits and pieces to make it a GT3. I might even forgive the automatic in a tribute. Otherwise, what's the tribute? The badging?
Since Porsche occasionally sells "turbo-look" cars, there's even a precedent for "legit" Porsches masquerading as other Porsches. My '99 C4 is GT3 enough to pass for a GT3 to people who actually know what a GT3 is, but I wouldn't badge it as one because that's f'n lame. I'm just not sure if it's more, less than, or equally f'n lame as camping someone's faux GT3 to explain to other people that it's counterfeit...
There's a guy on our street who chalks other peoples' tires and takes date-stamped photos - whenever someone has been parked for 72 hours and one minute, he calls the cops trying to get the other cars cited. The cops, who can't stand the douche, won't accept his date-stamped photos as evidence, which makes him even madder. Chalking someone else's tires and ratting them out to the fuzz is just about as lame as OP's "that's not a GT3" impromptu seminars.

That's basically what I said about the kits. I don't care if someone builds a car that looks exactly like a Turbo. They can even install the intakes in the sides fenders. The moment they slap a Turbo badge or sticker on it...
And, lol, yeah, I wouldn't advocate camping out to embarrass someone -- I don't see the point in that either.
WOW DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA........ LOL there are some people on here that will slap a 40th AE badge just because, same with GT3 and, Turbo badges.. IMO they are just Wanna be's LMPAO!!!!!
