I like them too but not Kim K big!!! WTF IS THAT ALL ABOUT??

Call eric from bumper plugs and he can get you new logos painted in any color you want. I went with speed yellow to match the belts, alternating stitching on leather, floor mat borders and calipers.

Then use roketmans guy for door decals as illustrated on both of our cars.

Right. I read the article. Which says nothing. So basically you are saying they will never make a 996 or 997 gt2 again. Which we know. It's a catchy title to this thread but misleading. Can say the same about gt3. "End of gt3???"

Anyway. Cool pics guys and happy Friday.

Some truth and also some not so.

It would also need to be lightweight. No chassis reinforcement for rear seats. No rear seats. Modified control arms for optimal camber gain and toe control. No RWS for lighter weight. Quicker rack ratio, paddles mounted on the column, not on wheel. Some slightly more radical or different bumper covers. Better aero, and better transition under yaw from aero to mechanical grip.

Manly spring rates. No more of this "built for shoddy American roads" crap.

Do that, make it 650bhp, and you have a winner.

My pipe dream. Not happening. But still needs 6M.

So out goes the widow maker and in comes the husband saver with all the new electric nannies?

Maybe they should make a new slogan "Wife approves"
