GT3...German Rice?

Although it is apparently functional, the GT3 is going to have a DUAL salad bar spoiler. Porsche has always gotten away with large wings, but this is just

I've seen bigger on a porsche, although that pic doesn't give you a good idea of just how big the wing is. I still love the 911 turbo wing the best, but people that buy the GT3 could give a damn about the wing.

Damn man, how you gonna call that rice. On that car, the wing is probably more functional than you'll ever see on any other car. Its not a ricer double stacked POS on a civic or something. Recognize before u talk shit yo.

the reason that its called rice on a import is because its a non oem non fuctional POS wing not a factory functional wing like this is, that aside i still like the gt2 wing better but this one doesnt look bad or ricey by any means

sorry guys, but i call it like i see it. looks like rice to me. there's plenty of functional porsche wings; no need for this ugly redesign. I love porsches btw; which is why I was so dissapointed at the looks of the rear of the gt3. I never said it would influence my buying decision either way if I was in the market for one however. I mean, it is what it is, but lets be honest guys, even if it were functional, if this wasn't a porsche, many of you would have agreed with me on this one.

this is probably very true...I like to bitch about cars I can't afford. Makes me feel better. . I'd still buy the car, but that uninspired shelf of a wing would annoy me.

Welp the car is beautifal. I'm not gonna it's fantastic just because it's a porsche. I prefer the old wings which retracted but i just like when the shit folds out when you hit a certain MPH

To make you feel better Zeroday, I think the wing is nasty. I would have it removed, and replaced with a smaller one if I ever bought a GT3.

agreed.

if im in the market for a rediculously fast, incredibly rare, amazingly exclusive sports car the GT3 looks like all other porsches, gotta go for the stand out. i saw a GT3 the other day and thought it was a turbo til i saw the badge. i mean thats taking it down visually in price by like 100k! no one would mistake a lambo.

The Z looks like it was made for ricers. I guess if the wing is the only thing ricey on the porsche, then the other 95% of the car is class.

That was a Gallardo, not a Murcielago.

I'm a jackass for stating my opinion? You are such as sensitive fuck over your car. Maybe you should trade it in for some tampax, seriously, relax man. I don't like the Z and to me it's ricey looking, that's my OPINION. Next time were at E-town together I'll tell you to your face I don't like your car, then you can call me a jackass and a domestic driving douchebag .

Ever hear of aerodynamics? Sure, remove it and go do 150MPH and get back to me, when and if you get out of the hospital lol.

NOTHING on a porsche is for decoration except the hot fuckin honey you drive around in it.

I am not crazy about the wing myself. It's functional, yes I know. Not ricey but I think it sorta detracts from the look of the car. I love the GT3 though and would get it if I had the $$.

Eclipse - IMO, calling the Z ricey is one of the most ridiculious things I have ever heard, but again, opinions are like....

The GT3 is has the highest specific output (100hp/liter) for a normally aprirated production porsche EVER. (although the GT will better that when it comes out).

This months Excellence magazine has a decent write up on the GT3.

The wing, while it serves a purpose (not like the wings ricers put on stock engine civics) gets a IMHO, but then again I'm a fan of the ducktail spoiler

read the posts above instead of jumping to the conclusion that I said this car sucks in any way shape or form...jesus you'd think I just pissed on JFK's grave by criticizing a porsche SPOILER. Get a grip people.

I said you're acting like a jackass because your opinion had nothing to do with the subject of this thread...you start ripping on my car if I post something you disagree with around here....what the hell is that? You are the one that needs to relax. I don't go out of my way to fuck with you. This thread was about a porsche SPOILER. You want to meet face to face, I'll say the same fuckin thing.

No decoration on a porsche? OK lets take an inventory of some of the 'performance enhancements' they offer on these things:
Leather interior, carbon fiber door sills, carbon fiber center console, Aluminum 'LOOK' package, 17 different available colors, painted brake calipers complete with porsche logo...I could go on and on. Don't kid yourself, porsche spends quite a bit of time designing their cars to be asthetically pleasing...which is why I was dissapointed by the salad bar they stuck oin the gt3.
