Whoa! I was thinking about going to Renegade when my flat six flatlined. I think now I need to rethink that idea!!

That's a Ford motor not an LS but it gives me a great idea, looks like there is still room in the back for another engine - twin engine'd 911! Woot woot!

I've never seen a car that I've immediately despised with every ounce of my being like this car... but I want to drive it. A lot.

Wow... That's bizarre, but some people will try some of the strangest things to get attention.

hahaha! knock on wood.

Yea, I'm "bigot" with the "billboard 991 graphics" on the back of my 996.

That thing has potential, I'm not a fan of the rear axle/tire set up or the front end, but I like the attempt

I like the top chop and the laid back windshield. Gives it a hint of Speedster look.

I have thought occasionally that I'd like to convert my car to a Speedster. Ditch the convertible top, strip down the interior a bit making it light as possible, install racing seats and then rake back the windshield.

I wonder how light you could make it by getting rid of every unnecessary item on it (radio, air bags, power windows (side windows all together), power seats, back seats, carpet, center console, a/c, etc. Basically, a street going race car?

Check our Slakker's track car build, he's pretty much weighed everything he's stripped out.

Its Fugly the purple thing.

I think it's actually a TV prop from the German version of the Munsters.
