Reminds me of the Moby Dick Porsche from the 70's. Looks pretty cool IMO. Minus the whole "I wish my RX-7 was a pickup truck" rear hatch look. I never liked that, even with the Mode-One kits.

LOL, I think you just dated yourself my friend. I don't think there are many of us on here that know Hardcastle and McCormick. I did like the show and the Porsche myself.

The 1st Coyote looked way better than the 2nd Delorean based one... incidentally I believe the 1st was a Manta Montage, a VW chassis kit car with a Porsche engine.

Dang - so much for 'edit'...

all I have to say is how many of you would date a handsome woman that wore clothes that where 5 times here size. the same goes for the rex trying to fit the Nascar body.

It is almost standable until you look at the door of the 7 and you realize JUST how ridiculously MASSIVE the damn thing is. Like Matsuda said... "It defies all logic." IMO, a body kit is to lighten weight and make your car look nice. Thos body kit adds weight because it is bigger than the damn titanic and it DEFINETELY doesn't make the car look nice.

Yes, i initially was also very disappointed. Then you remember that for only 70 dollars more we can always get an aluminum one and kinda just ... drill it into it and call it performance. This thought made me happier as i realized what true performance was all about. Thanks F&F!!
