It reminds me of what Audi TT/R8 would've been back in the '50s.

]]> <![CDATA[Chopped Porsche 356-914-911 Could Be Yours!]]> I like the aesthetics of this car, and the philosophy behind it (by which I mean "I like crazy hot-rod Porsches") but I think the makers went a bit overboard. The various scoops are straight out of the "tuner Scion" playbook, and as others have mentioned, the vent just ahead of the rear wheel looks really, really stupid. But I like the car. You could tell the great unwashed that it's a Glockler-Porsche or one of the other specials of the '50s, and they'd probably buy it. Those spun aluminum wheels have to go, though--replace them with the chrome steelies from the DOTS 356, and don't worry about hubcaps.

the only place chrome should exist is on wheels and perhaps around headlights.

]]> <![CDATA[Chopped Porsche 356-914-911 Could Be Yours!]]> I love the front window framing. Just love it. A few too many vents, but if I had 175k burning a hole in my pocket... I'd probably do something else with it, but still totally hot.

]]> <![CDATA[Chopped Porsche 356-914-911 Could Be Yours!]]> This car was at Fantasy years ago. Porsche people are generally a predictable bunch--even "outlaw" 356s have the same tweaks, over and over. Hence the awesomeness of this creation.

]]> <![CDATA[Chopped Porsche 356-914-911 Could Be Yours!]]> I don't care for the Ford Focus style cheese graters aft of the doors.. and I think they're about 1 decimal place optimistic on the buy-now price. Shame 3 porsches had to be bastardized for this effort - hopefully each had expired before being chopped up.

Gaseous Clay

]]> <![CDATA[Chopped Porsche 356-914-911 Could Be Yours!]]> I like it. The looks of a 356 panamerica race car without being a VW beetle in disguise. The handling of a 914 without looking like a 914. Lastly the power of a 911 without having to be wanker to own one. It's just about perfect.

That's a few steps beyond the chopped 356 notchback I saw at Laguna Seca circa 97..updated with 911 headlights & other subtle touches..
