It looks a wee bit out of proportion to me

Bo Zolland does some fine work. You need that long front hood to offset all that engine weight!

I like the idea....but the dinky grills and head/tail light and bumpers and window chrome have to be brought to 2008 style....shapes are amazing!!!

Were these left over from a production run of "Pimp my ride?"

Humm... it looks ok and all but I've never been a fan of a car with erect nipples.

Front end is too long for rear engined car, IMO.

That's what I was thinking...great idea, but the execution leaves something to be desired.

I am going to to against the grain and say "NO". What makes the Carrera / 911 such a classic is that fact that is has evolved. It has kept a classic look and improved on it every year. Everyone has there opinions about some of the generations, but everyone knows it's a Porsche 911.

NICE!! Although.. why that long of a front when there's no engine in there?
