RE: 911 San Diego Express - Page 2 - Porsche General - PistonHeads UK

Okay, call me a freak but I like the doors. So maybe i'd be more inclined to buy a X50'd turbo and get them to convert the doors and leave it at that, but if i had tht sort of money... You've got to admit, it's different! VS

As if the standard versions of today's high-end, mainstream European cars aren't already appropriate enough for pimps, rappers, and other assorted poseurs...

Must be a bit of a nightmare having to pick up all the shit that falls out of your door pockets every time you get in and out of the car!

I guess you would need a gable-roofed double garage just for the one car

er.. is it me, or does there not look to be enough room to get in and out of those doors with ease..? Not exactly scissor doors... nor gullwings in the true sense... I've just got visions of people smacking their head on entry/egress...!

Imagine if they'd done this in the 80s! At least it's not as much of a pig's ear as the Hamman Las Vegas - the 911 is more of a 'gullwing' kinda car. The other add-ons look like they came from Halfords, and, somewhere, a Manchester scally will be wondering why his Civic is on bricks...

Hmmm. I rather like it. Halfords you say...

Get rid of that extra little spoiler on the already present spoiler and it would look fantastic!

PUT THE DRUGS AND THE M*X P*WER MAGAZINE AWAY HAMANN. You've ruined a few too many gorgeous cars for my liking. Anyone have any information on the Sportec GT2 ? Subtle body styling.....BIG POWER

It just so happens I know more than a little about this Mr J. I couldn’t say nowt before coz of legal malarkey, but from next week AmD become the UK agent for Sportec. I just need to somehow convince the boss I really really need the 650bhp GT2 as my company run-around ....... come on Daz you know your 996 turb needs more power.......

Lawks. Anyone else wondering whether they managed to land a job lot of those door hinges of the back of a lorry Del-boy Trotter style - and are now trying to out them smartish? Love the comment about the crap falling out of the door bins... brought to mind that scene with the F16 in the Naked Gun movie.. or was it Hot Shots.. I have such taste in movies!

Love the doors, but would have to be careful not to hang on to them while trying to get out, body kit belongs on a nova. If they wanted more power they should have started with the turbo, and besides "turbo" has "cred down da cruise init Ham man"

Yeesssssss, well. Don't understand the doors. Suppose you have to park the car and leave the doors open all the time to impress passers by.

Nice coulor but id rather have a RUF R turbo or a gemballa GT600

Well said that man. Or any of the new batch of 750bhp UberRingSters of Herrs Gemballa, Ruf and Techart. DAZ PS - What a waste of a GT3, absolutely unforgivable. George Dubya, I give you Hammann, leader of the axis of evil, automotive branch. Do what you need to do.

OOH GOODIE And yes, company run-around, purely to spread the word and mobile advertising of course

I'm a little concerned that a medical professional appears to be prescribing himself and taking a dangerous level medication. I dare the Doctor to restate what he's just rambled when he gets out of the passenger seat at the Ring in May. DAZ

I'm curious about the air-scoop... what is it supposed to do? It's neither for air intake purpose, nor aerodynamics (in fact I guess it increases lift as the air is channeled downwards) nor does it look good (at least to me humble eyes), and, as with every additional mass on the roof, it doesn't really help in the challenge of lowering the car's centre of gravity... SO WHY THE BLOODY HELL??? Am I wrong or was the GT3 the real remaining Porsche sportscar (SPORTScar), when compared to the poserish Turbo, and wasn't it about minimalistic I-dun-give-a-****-about-air-conditioning purposeful racing stuff? What Hamann did to the car was something like "convert a goodlooking, track-loving car to a car that LOOKS as if it was about racing and spend €136888 in the process".

I like the doors The rest of it's pretty shocking though. Surely this is the reason for the roof vent ?

Well this is my nomination for the most horribly butchered 911 of all time... I think the Max Power style Vauxhall Corsa rear lights are the crowning glory! More pics and details here .

Good one, Ted.
