I think the real ones are pretty cool but most of the replicas are a mess. They ride poorly and are put together like any other kit car. Look good from 20’ but not great up close.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) And further, I abhor the "lil Bastard" graphics. Hope you lose them. Decent 550 replicas are available from Beck, but they're still replicas and like the majority of TupperSpeedsters only attract a certain purchaser because of the look. Might as well hang some freakin' fuzzy dice... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) The most convincing Porsche replica I've ever seen and regret not buying was a 550, but a very different version. No Furmann 4-cam but nearly every other detail was accurate, including the chassis construction. Shoulda pulled the trigger: |
