Why are Porsches so ugly?
I dig the 356, very nice indeed. The Krylon paint job is nice too, just like my truck!
You forgot the mismatched wheels and two tire sponsors, thats how true pimps roll.
That's quite a whale tail they've put on that Porsche. 
Kumho...
Aahahahhaha.
Aahahahhaha.
True. Wonder if they're junk tires for rolling 'round in that dirt paddock area?Ciaran said:
Alot of the more well-off Formula Ford guys I raced against used modified motorcycle wheels/tires in the paddock.

re: "whale tail" That rear wing is just one of many options for an adjustable wing on a GT3RS/RSR.
Edit: Here's the more typical factory wing setup on a non-rattle can car:
Alot of the Atlantic teams do that as well.lux said:
It's for racing, it's not a car show. Like I said, function before fashion.Bicyclist said:
Also, sponsor stickers on the car are probably not "sponsors" as bike racers think of them. Likely these are contigincy stickers. You win while running certain brands, and the manufacturer gives you money, or discounts, or product. Or the car may be used in different series that have a spec tire.
FF2000's too.Ciaran said:
Damn I used to love watching the Atlantics race. Them bitches are fast!
One thing I miss about SCCA racing -- getting up close and personal at the races.
One thing I don't miss -- Sliding sideways into a tirewall at 90+mph.
Is that even a rattle can job on the 996? You can see carbon patterns on the back, it looks like it's not even painted. Which is sick because it's lighter and even more of an awesome racer. If you're winning races on it and it's fast then I'd be happy with it. Function before form.
Awsome! I raced karts but never made it to big cars... well, not yet at least. I keep saying I'm going to do it (FF, F-Vee, or Atlantics at the club level) but it's expensive as hell, and if I am going to race again, it's hard to beat a kart for bang for the buck.lux said:FF2000's too.

I make sure I go to the Long Beach GP every year on thursday through saturday so I can watch the atlantics. These days you can still get up close in the pits as long as it's not race day. It's sometimes hard to believe that those are sealed inline fours.
I guess I wouldn't consider a Fuch wheel "new".Bicyclist said:
You've been huffing too much paint again.black noise said:
If a racer is giving free advertising to a manufacturer than they must be hoping to get sponsored by said manufacturer. Which is why it's strange to have three different tire manufacturers represented on the same vehicle, sponsored or not. Not to mention my post was an elaboration of a prior post, I used someone elses verbage.....

The way I (in my never-failing brilliance) figured out how to do it cheaply, was to race Club Ford. Bought an old Hawk DL-15, rebuilt it and away I went into a crushing debt that I'm still struggling to pay off!!!Ciaran said:
Perhaps one of the manufacturers is a series sponsor and requires teams to display their vinyl regardless of what tire they're running?punkassean said:
I know that's the way it works here in the land of NASCAR.
Which is my point.punkassean said:
"hoping to be sponsored" is quite different than actually being sponsored.
Nice!
my point is if that's the case with this car, it's a self-defeating cause. One sticker would be fine but three should pretty much eliminate any chance of getting hooked up.justsomeguy said:
i like the 356... sure, i d prefer a stock / original one, but that thing is very cool...
ciaran - got a couple of carts that we can scoot ??? drag em up the hill, have some brew on the deck and we ll find somewhere to have a drive...

Is that really a 996? I didn't think the newer models had deep raingutters like that. Also, what's up with the electrical tape between the rear window and the deck lid? He didn't have any duct tape?
I bet it's a re-bodied 911. (look how ghetto that side skirt is)
