It's the headlights and tail-lights that are just a huge "swing-and-a-miss". The tail-lights are C6 Vette, but I can't quite place the headlights (pre-Diamler Chrysler 300?). (edit: found it-- 2000-ish Chrysler 300m) Whatever they are, they REALLY bring the car down. Actually, the car itself is a giant stroke aiming for the bleachers, which ends up as a mighty whiff. At least the dude went down swinging.
My point exactly: Any meathead with a paint brush, some cloth and some resin can change all that. And with a bit of patience make it much better.
Look at the overall shape, me boyos!
How about some 944 headlights, unstrake the flanks in favor of some proper Porschey side scoops, maybe some 904-style tail lights?
What we have in front of us is a mid-engined, V8 sports car with correct hood and fender lines and correct proportions. And Porsche suspension.
For $11k.
Anyone who likes Porsches for their performance (rather than brand prestige) needs to consider this thing. It is a near-perfect Rorschach test to separate the prestige guys from the performance guys.
--or, at least... to separate the meatheads-with-resin from the sane men.
