I dont think so. Looks a bit different. I think someone tried to copy the famous beast with a smaller budget.

 

I agree with Rx7carl... the lines on that are not the same. Nice try though.

 

yeah you guys are right, now that i look at it closer. he definately did do the front lights similar though. i can't believe he wants 12 grand for it though

 

Maybe it IS the purple car, after some upgrades/downgrades? Maybe he crashed the front and had to rebuild it. The rest looks pretty much the same.

 

The rear bumpers look different. The rest looks alot alike.

 

different color

 

Wow,looks pretty ragged.He must have lost interest or just neglected it......actually,you guys are right its not the same car.The wing isnt molded into the body.And his choice of wheel backspacing isnt as good either.
I dont feel so bad about my engine bay cleanliness after seeing his.And did you see those back rotors and the area around the IC?......EWWW..

 

this is the front end...if this is the one your talking about

Its a nice seven

 

same porsche was used, but they're clearly different cars. Just look at the rear spoiler. One is blended in one is not.

 

The REAL one has the spoiler molded to the body. The other car has the spoiler just kind of laying there.

 

But that front bumper... The similarities are too amazing to be co-incidence. That bumper *has* to be taken from another car or available somewhere as a kit. You can't reproduce something like that by eye.

By talking to the owner of this car we may finally be able to put to rest the question "where can I get this front body kit"

Yes it's a different car, but obviously it's been heavily inspired by the original purple beast. And I can't argue with the engine upgrade, as long as it's been done right.

(not that I even like the look.. I don't... but I'm tired of not knowing where that bumper comes from)

the front air dams are diffrent 2 if you look at both side by side

 

not nearly the same car...fenders are different...spoiler is different not too mention the real "notorious purple fb's" spoiler is moulded into the rear fenders...just a copycat

 

So where do i even find spoilers like this? Everything online is just low profile stuff.

 

Both scream bondo body. Gives me a queasy stomach. Imagine if either of those after a wreck?
