    I like it too, though I'd like it more as a 906. Wheel/tire combo look don't look quite right to me, maybe too low-profile.

    lets see their first production unit. looks great, some things could be adjusted, like ride height, why the heck does it need to be so slammed.

    maybe it'll be great, but of course, a water cooled 904 . . . aint a 904 by a long-shot. it probably has air conditioning too : )

    Help ma they're gunna wash my car

    The 300SL on their website had wrong proportions. Not just wrong to the original, but wrong. This "904" has a more curved beltline also. It's obviously not a 904, and no serious enthusiast would mistake it for one. I also agree it's too low; I actually wouldn't mind if it had A/C... the wife would go in it then.

    Supposedly, this one is built on a 987 Boxster platform. So, you pay 100K for a tarted up Boxster? I'll call Chuck Beck instead!
