I agree mate - totally. Not often a Porsche even gets a second glance from me but this one did ! For this money, I'd have something with Lamborghini on the back

Looks like all the other GT3s you see on the road.

Oh, it is

I love Porsches, but unless its modified there not much aside from GT2s and GT1s that would make me take a 2nd look.

Looks alright, nothing special though, as said it's the same as any other GT3!

I wouldn't turn it down, i'm a big Porsche fan but there's better ones out there than that...

Whats or where is Santa Agata?

Incase you don't have Prep H in Europe and you're not sure about the quality of the product, it's this.....

The GT3 and the GT3RS are so fantastic to drive, and they start on the first turn of the key...........
