[hazrd]

the worlds slowest V6 porsche :p

[gmonkey]

[tomtom]

I like how the air vents cool your luggage instead of the engine haha.

Wait... its still a front engine right?

[SIMid]

Supercheap Porsche! :p So where do you fill her up? Front or back? If it's the front, then she should be rear engined then.

[hazrd]

if it was rear, it would HAVE to be rwd :D

[btm]

i dont get it???

[Wraith]

Far out...that's a pretty good piece of body work, I'd never pick it and even now that we know what it is, it's hard to pick it...:skep:

[btm]

hold the phone... are you saying that is actually a cali underneath all that?? :eek:

[poita]

biggest thing to spot difference is the windscreen slope and rear spoiler :p oh and the almost look a like wheels :p

[mmahle]

LOL, I love the comment about cooling the luggage. lol, maybe you can put a esky near it and carry some cool drinks or something hehehe.

Otherwise, pretty amazing car, they got it right when so much can go wrong.

[Neeko]

how much would that be worth!!
pretty sure i'd just buy a porsche :p

very impressive though.

From the pics it is very hard to tell the difference....... it is some piece of work and also very strange they used a Calibra...... but far out what a waste of time:yikes:

Like a few have said it looks like a costly exercise 2.

I guess the guy must have really wanted a Porsche :rolleyes:

[gmonkey]

and also didnt want the loser status of a boxter :p

[sadavidsriturbo]

lol boxter what a bucket so hate them :cool:

+ 1

Totally agree with those comments above...

[xplosv57]

Unbelieveable mock up, but it does beg the question of why?? The cost to fabricate all those Porsche bits would be quite a lot!!

[USC]

It does not look too bad at all! Whats the mechanical side like? did he do any work there as well?

[gmonkey]

i really feel sorry for the guy but ey... his car will die in a cloud of smoke on the side of the highway (and we all know it will happen soon or later, cause its calibra running gear) and no one will stop to help him cause it looks like a porsche... id love to see the confusion on mechanics faces (even more so if he took it to porsche garage :p) when he gets it serviced.. "lifts boot hmm theres your problem right there, theres no engine!!"

So true about the Calibra running gear, especially if he's based it on a Cali T...
