A Sport Classic for $100,000 less???

I like it a lot. Both the interior and the exterior looks great, and the engine mods are about equal to the Sport Classic I believe...

The cheapest Sport Classic is a 911 with the X51 powerkit. The sport classic is severely overpriced for what it is.

Yea. I understand exclusivity has to have it's price....but more than a GT2 is pushing it a bit...
