Thanks very much.

The yellow and purple cars look like "Wingo" from the movie Cars - that yellow one has to be photoshopped - no way anyone would do that to one of Alois' cars.

I think the spoilers on the Satrun are to make up for brakes that are way past their service life - it was proably cheaper to buy spoilers from salvage ricer cars than to repair the brakes.

For a gt3 that was intended for racing at high speeds, i guess they are a neccesity more than anything else. But i take the car on more than 200kph runs and totally stable and confident feel....without the wings!
yet there are those with Carreras (and Boxsters) that raise, and keep, their automatic spoilers up whether they're being driven or parked....

Thanks. Here are a few more. The 914 always looked bi-directional. With a low front spoiler and rear wing, I think it gives it the directional stance it needs. The 17" wheels help too.

Thanks a lot guys. I really appreciate the compliments. If you can't find it, built it

It moves & handles pretty well too:
2.1 L Big Bore Kit
Big Valve Heads (38mm x 48mm)
Performance Street Grind Cam
Dual 45mm Dellorto Carbs
Pertronix Ignition
Nology Power Core & Plug Wires
Bosch 050 Distributor
Renegade Hybrids Driveshafts
Auxiliary Oil Cooler with Mocal Sandwich Plate
Shine Racing Systems Needle bearing front suspension
Bilsteins all around
Ceramic Coated Monza exhaust with SS heat exchangers
Cross Drilled Rotors with BMW front caliper upgrade

Wish I'd customized the gear ratios in the tranny when rebuilding it, as it makes enough power where I can redline it in 5th gear

Thanks again!

Currently working on a 928 Spyder which will become my DD. It's a '79 with Jacquemond front & rear bumpers, updated lighting (8" HIDs in front), a Stage 2 928MS Supercharger, GTS brakes, and will have a pretty awesome 1000W Focal Sound System.

This will be the one without a wing, keeping with the spirit of the thread
