Odd, it *had* $3000 worth of JIC coilovers on it (I know, 'cause I paid and put those ****ers on). You can see how much lower it was in the original picture.

You can see it here as well. I dunno what he did with them. Maybe they are still on, but he has the wrong size wheel/tires? I dunno.

*notice the purple-ish springs? Those are JIC springs that are mated to the JIC struts*

LOL @ people saying it looks good

If you saw either that color or atrocious aerokit on anything else you'd think it was ugly as hell and don't even try to lie about it.

Also, before the Eurof@gs get here, nobody here is talking about functionality. Which I'm sure is what you are going to go for first. Is it functional? Sure, but is it ugly as f*cking sin? DEFINITELY.

"Man, that is ugly as f*ck! Oh wait, it's a Porsche? Nevermind, I like it now."

RAN...you do this quite a bit. You say a supercar like a Gallardo and other Lambos are ugly but finish your sentence with to each his own.

Personally, the way that car sits, makes it look terrible. But here is one that has a similar kit that i think looks good. I think factory 911s are perfect but i still think this car works. Am i a lier? No. I just like it. I'm not gonna diss what you drive but you are becoming one of the people on this site that seems to make an opinion and laughs at everyone that doesn't see it that way.

http://www.autounleashed.com/images/porsche_gemballa_tuning.jpg

911: Yes
Funny Color: Yes
Do i still like it even though it is a different idea: Yes.

"People with money like unique ugly sh!t"

If that's not an ignorant statement i don't know what is.

RAN: you do realize people that are called upon to design supercars are the best designers in the world. They have an eye for styling that doesn't stop at automobiles. We always say styling is subjective but when you are comparing your views vs someone that has an art degree....its kinda hard to see it your way.

There's really no point in arguing over whether or not you like the looks of a car. I think it works, you can't put a ridiculous kit on a civic because it doesn't fit right with the natural lines of the car. Cars like this can pull off stuff like this, but again, it all relates to personal taste.

Sorry if that offends you. I do try to keep the flaming content toned down outside of the WL and merely express my like/dislike for a particular vehicle.


"People with money like unique ugly sh!t"

We always say styling is subjective but when you are comparing your views vs someone that has an art degree....its kinda hard to see it your way.So what? They say Picasso was a genius. I think the majority of his work is sporatic and retarded. I've taken art appreciation classes and I still find these things ugly. I'd bet that if you saw an equally functional/ugly kit on a Civic that did 200mph you'd still laugh at it's atrocious design. You might respect it's numbers, but you'd still think it was ugly. I'm the same way. I'll respect the car's performance, but performance and a price tag don't make it an attractive car. Sorry, but European supercars have some of the ugliest designs I've ever seen. It's supposed to be a car, not the Starship Enterprise. lol

P.S. - One doesn't need an art degree to recognize ugly designs. :goodjob:

P.S.S. - I just looked over that red car. The color helps A LOT as do the better front bumper and wheels. Ditch the goofy rear spoiler and you're in business.

That car is f*cking hideous. I honestly don't see why people like these cars and I really don't care who made it, who designed it, or where. I think there are just as many fanboys on here that are biased towards Japanese imports (Ricers) as there fanboys for domestics (mullet heads) and European imports (Eurof@gs). I respect EJ for being pretty cool about it, but that's no reason for me to squelch my opinion and I'd gladly debate such topics with him any day of the week. It's all personal opinion and, in the end, I realize that neither of us are going to change the other's opinions. I'll get a small laugh at people who like what I consider to be ugly crap and he has every right to laugh at me for being a narrow minded, unsophisticated what-have-you in return. It's the internet and thus it shall be used.

No offense. We have a difference in opinion.



It's the truth though. That's not my fault.

It would be ridiculous on my part to ask "how many rich people have you meet" so i won't. I will say that i have meet one very rich man that owns some cars i think you would call ugly. Well, he doesn't and i don't. And as far as he's concerned, i'm sure he doesn't care if someone feels different. Unlike alot of other wealthy folks he doesn't brag or show of his cars.

Can't comment too much on Picasso. Never studied his work. I have studied others in the renaissance :rolleyes:. But that is off topic.

Anyways. Picasso did it all for himself. These designers are hired by multi billion dollar corporations and the need for these to succeed is incredible.

Many artist fail and go no where because no one appreciates their work. On the other hand, a very small few get approval.

Just look at Luc Donckerwolke. He designed the Murciélago and the Gallardo. When he came to Lambo, they were struggling to sell 1000 cars a year. Now, they are one of the most profitable cars in all of V.W. group. They are "likely" to introduce a 4 door at Paris in 2 weeks.

Here's what i'm trying to say......You don't sell 5,000 Gallardos in 5 years for no reason. When you are at the price point, surprisingly, you have a good bit of options. And yet, people still buy the Lambo. Ran, there are quite a few people that disagree with you.

And saying they are dumb because they are rich is just facetious.

Right. It looks to be 997 front body work along with some rear quarters that have similar width to a 997.

Ever compare a 6 to a 7? Park a 6 Turbo beside a 7 C2. It's sad to say the 997 C2 has more of an ass than a 996 T.

The 6 Turbo is the best bang for the buck right now, though.

Your opinionI've met a handful, but not a lot. I've met some that drive simple vehicles and others that are more extreme. Hell, the owner of the company I work for drives a V12 Mercedes with an ugly @ss bodykit that makes it look like an RX-8. lol I don't care if they value my opinion or not, it is what it is and I'm entitled to it. They'll think I'm dumb but I'll still think their sh*t is ugly. :D

Now, they are one of the most profitable cars in all of V.W. group. They are "likely" to introduce a 4 door at Paris in 2 weeks.It is my firm belief that these corporations bank on making something so unique and rare that every high-dollar douchebag will want one and rush out just to have it. Take Roll-Royce for instance. They're the ugliest f*cking cars on the planet aside from the Pontiac Aztec, but people still buy them. Why? Because they're unique and scream "I HAVE MONEY! LOOK AT ME!". I feel the same mentality is largely (but not completely) behind the ugly Porsche in this discussion as well as the Lego-designed Lambo's and most other European supercars.


Here's what i'm trying to say......You don't sell 5,000 Gallardos in 5 years for no reason. When you are at the price point, surprisingly, you have a good bit of options. And yet, people still buy the Lambo. Ran, there are quite a few people that disagree with you.Of course they do. I remember seeing an interview with Nicholas Cage where he was having trouble deciding between a Ferrari and Lambo. He couldn't decide so he bought them both. He likes them, good for him. People are welcome to disagree with me and I know that they do. I never disputed that and am always open to a disagreement of opinion. :)


And saying they are dumb because they are rich is just facetious.I'm not saying that being rich makes you dumb. I'm saying that being rich and spending money on ugly sh*t just because it's unique and costs a lot makes you dumb. Even if I were to win the $150,000,000 lottery, I still wouldn't drive one of these cars. You'd probably find me in a 1st gen Miata with simple mods and a hardtop or something equally as simple. I'm sure that there are a lot of people on here that think Miata's are ugly and I'm open to comments criticizing my tastes. It's an open forum, say what you'd like. :cheers:

Now for Ant...


Ran-why are you getting all bent out of shape over a...what? $70-100k Porsche?I'm not. I don't like, I said so, people asked why, and I responded. For some reason it turned into a discussion regarding me and my opinion, but that's cool. I've got no problems talking about it. :goodjob:

man ruiner....i miss your 911...it was freakin badass!

Thanks, nice seeing you around. I actually still have a few pics of you standing in front of my car (with some other girl) at HIN way back when.

We'll see what I can come up with next...I'm thinking either a white GTR (need to drive one before I decide if I like it or not) or a black on black C6 Z06. We'll see...

Well, it has two bad things going for it in my eyes:
1. It weighs 3800lbs+
2. They don't offer it in a manual

Hence why I like the C6 Z06...

Ran - I believe that he built this car not to say "look at me", but to show on display at auto shows for iForged and such. It's both a personal car and his company's car in the sense that it will represent iForged. Make sense?

In that sense, the car does infact say "Look at me!" to get attention for the shop. I'm sure that approach will work too.

I still don't like it though. ;)

I'm a lil biased, but have you looked into the '06 SRT-10 or the '08 SRT-10 or even better the '08 ACR? ACR beat the R35 and ZR-1

No, and I won't. I've driven many and never liked them. Just not my style.

I dig the GT3-RS green.
I'm not to fond of the TechART front though, the stock GT3-RS looks better.
I am also willing to bet those wheels are just basic rollers to get the car around until something nice and expensive arrives.


Not reading 4 pages of thread.

Dude shut the **** up already ... we know you don't like it.. you said it in almost every post you made in this thread. ****, we get it.. damn, I mean I have read a few threads on here where you don't like Higher end cars... so stfu.
****.. i would rather own a picture and a dream about that 911 then see a real mustang in my driveway.

I bet if it has some lame ass Anime graphics on it you would be wacking off to it..





Anyways....

Hey, it's not my fault these guys keep approaching me and trying to justify the car. :)

P.S. - Not even anime can save that ride. :D

Understandable. At least that was a good answer.

What about...

Ford GT's?

Ferrari's have come down in price A LOT! 355's are around 50-70k, 360's are at 60-90k. Really cheap lately. Automobile market is becoming like the housing market, really ****ty

It's still a 911 Turbo, but that body kit is a bit too Need For Speed: Most Wanted for my tastes. Ask any racer, any Real racer... he should have taken the money he spent on cosmetics and put it all in the motor.

enlighten me Ruiner there is a reason for that color choicelol, since it's iForged most likely iFrog but for some unknown reason I don't hang out on Porsche forums...oh wait I remember now. I don't own a Porsche, lol.

It could look better, that's for sure. In it's current state, I'd rather have a bone stock 996TT.
