dude. seriously. no. it's got GT3 on the back too, and yes, plenty of GT3 owners are willing to do that, and it's not a korean knock-off because it's got european plates. korean plates are almost three times the height.

That is a GT3 rear wing, bumper and wheels. That is a GT3...

I have pictures of a worse accident happened with a 911, it flew off the highway, and the pictures are not CL friendly ( you can see how the 18 years old female driver's head was chopped off )
I stopped drive fast after seeing those pictures...

sigh. I'm poking fun at the blatant GT3 on the doors.

they might have korean knockoff poshu's out there though, you never know.

Hey, I know with the lousy gas mileage Porsches get, you have to constantly follow tankers, but this is a little overkill.


Seriously, this accident reminds me of the one recently posted of the 18-year-old girl who stole her dad's new Carrera and slammed it into a tool booth post at an insane speed.

And we wonder why insurance is so high for Porsches...and for young drivers.

WOW. Maybe there should be a mandate for cars over 400hp to require special driver's training safety classes.
