Wow you weren't kidding about the money shot.


How does the SC add 150 lbs? I just don't get it.

The 15" brakes will add some weight but the CF should take some off. Why do the put in such big brakes? Marketing only?

The see-through hood is cheesy retarded. To me it takes a classy, performance-driven car and then ghetto's it up. Might as well put in 2 DVD players, a fake spoiler, and some spinners. Stupid.

Did you notice the brake calipers are the same color as the car?

Don't forget that is a SC _and_ aftercooler. That plumbing will add some weight.

Yeah, and the video screens implanted in the back of the headrests of the seats. Gotta give something for the Porsche drivers to look at besides the tail lights.
