There is only one Porsche worth buying.... 911

Although I would test drive a Cayman S, but I would feel like I cheaped out buying it over a real Porsche.

Indeed. Looks pretty good too. Not as wussy as before. But a Boxster for 80k+ is absurd. Base is around 60. I saw it in the new Road and Track, i think. They were testing it on the tail of the dragon

Yes the base is around 60K, but Porsche (like other German companies) nickels and dimes every conceivable option.

Don't forget the maintenance cost....




Buying a German car is like marrying a hot wife....

The look is good...

Test-drive' is great...

Buying is expensive...

Package means nice dress and diamonds...

Keep in good shape means bankruptcy..










































Can we just do the 'test-drive'????

The decals will be at the the bottom of both doors cut from 3M carbon fiber film. The splitter, wing, side skids and diffuser are all made with real carbon fiber (unpainted) so the decals will definitely stand out. I will be hiring an auto specific photographer and will be taking high resolution shots that I will forward to you once the car is completed. I am not opposed to shipping the car to you for trade show or business appearances so long as it does not interfere with other sponsors requests and you are handling the cost of the shipping. Most of the sponsors are satisfied with displaying the images on their perspective website/galleries and of course having the GTM lettered with their product logo. Will your company be making it out to SEMA this year? (I will be there with Factory Five). I can make the car available for SEMA 2013 for you if you so desire.
Thefactoryfiveforum.com is the best resource for builders of the GTM, I will post today commenting about your company and will do my best to sell your products to the other builders. As I am sure you know, the money savings is not the driving factor, building this car is not for the faint of funds or heart. My factor is to sponsor with companies that share in the excitement of this build. So far, the most enjoyment, has been the new relationships created.
