420hp. All wheel drive. Sub 5 second 0 - 60. Whats not to like? Other than the colour. Beautiful finish on that Phil.

 

I actually really like that colour. Thats one sick porsche... Great detail as well!

 

Awesome work! i kinda like that car

 

:applause: Nice work. Not sure I'm digging that color though.

 

what a beut!! Great detail on a great car

 

very nice Phil

 

Very nice detail Phil, that is a sick car!!!

 

I must say I'e never seen that color on a Porsche nor would I beliee someone if they said it. It's alright I suppose. Very nice detail.

 

Phil, You have done it again. I really like your work and the car too. Thanks for sharing...:worship2:

 

I love this car Phil, my favorite bodystyle!!! Such nice work...

 

Excellent work Phil:thumb:

Oh and BTW Phil I was driving in front of you today on Closter Dock rd. I think you came off the Palisades behind me too, I was driving a white Escalade and you were in the FJ. Your becomming a celebrityicture:

 

Detail looks great Phil. I love the 993 turbos but not that color. Is that really an OEM color or has it been repainted?

 

sweet car and great work!

 

Looks good, I bet cleaning the wheel wells (especially the rear ones) was fun.

I dunno about the color, I like it but I think I would get sick of it after a while (especially on a Porsche).

 

Put me in the group that's not too keen on the color but the work on that paint is nothing short of fantastic. You can make any color look phenomenal Phil!

 

yes I love these as well.

nah I was pretty beat long week so I wasn't aware of anything. but very cool.

yup oem color 2xx in the world I believe for one year 1996

thanks!

yup its one of those love it or hate it deals on the color.

thanks!

 

Gorgeous vehicle, great curves and wicked performance from these vehicles. Now these vehicles are worth the money :thumb:

As far as the colour goes, it's not bad...I mean it's different but it's not for everyone.

 

Another great job Phil

 

No disrespect to the colour, but that car would be perfect for The Joker
