You carbon fiber bigots out there are in denial, and living in the past. You call it "ricey", only because the manufacturers sell to the largest market, the ricers. But, you damn well know you'd opt for all the carbon fiber options you could get if you had the half mil. to spend on a Porsche Carrera GT. How can you call it "ricey", the whole damn dream car is full of carbon fiber. It happens to be a technological advancement, not some kind of fashion statement. Yeah, I think the stuff looks great. I'd love to get enough people together to convince rennspd.com to give me a good price on a pair of 916 bumpers, a pair of hoods, a rear wing, and to make molds for standard rocker panels, and a targa top. Maybe even some interior parts like dash top, bottom, face, doorpanels, center console, backpad. Stronger and lighter are two things you have to like. If you dont like the look, pad it or paint it. But, you can't look at a Porsche Carrera GT and make me believe you think it's "ricey". :finger2:

QUOTE(davidcalvin @ Sep 22 2004, 10:00 PM) I dunno about his car. But mine is in the shop because its got an oil leak in the "oil cooler" the size of a mount-rushmore nostril. Its gaping. Its wide. And its leaking oil like a strainer without the strainer. so I can drive my new wonder-toy until Monday. Please, you can all join me in my grief. I love that little thing and I have only had it a few days. What, did the guy who sold it to you do, put a cork in it. Sounds like a pre-existing condition. I paid a little too much for my olympic blue '73 2.0, considering all the work I had to have done, but, I had the money back then. It was sitting in a garage for thirteen years when I bought it. New shocks, spring, rotors, pads, 19mm mastercylinder, SS brake lines, rear trunk mounts, battery tray, of course, fuel lines , muffler, tires, electronic ignition, several annoying little electical failures, now a new clutch, interior pretty good, needs a paint job. On the good side the compression test showed it was well maintained, 130,000 miles and the engine tested like new. Clutch and paint, and it will be concours ready. I really don't think I'll bastardize it with carbon fiber parts. I just wanted to see how others felt about the material, and why? What's yours like. |
