Nice car man. But if I had a chioce, I'd rather Jess's Diablo. I know a guy that just bought a 04-05 GT2. great handling ands looks but IMO nothing beats the look of the Diablo.

Nice car, but i'm not a fan of the wheels and the painted air vents. looked a little tacky to me. if it's all black inside, it would have looked nice. but then, i can't even afford one so why should i be complaining!
so this guy really loves yellow, even the ferrari is yellow!

Amazing car, but I don't like the yellow on the interior (blech) or those factory rims.

Agree with Bit on the wheels. If dreams came true and I had one of these I'd definitely opt for some different wheels. I bet it's a blast and a half to drive though.

I like it but think Porsch could have done a whole lot better with the wheels. A car of this caliber and cost should come with something you could keep. These wheels need to be discarded immediately after buying it.
