STÅRKE MAKES YAHOO FRONT PAGE

I'm telling you-- if they actually have a car, they'll sell all they can make.

THAT is one of the great things about AMERICA and the ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT. Innovation and imagination always has a shot. We'll be watching

Banzai....I hope your really going to the SEMA Show and get to check this car out. AND PLEASE DO,  report back with your usual FAIR, BALANCED, OBJECTIVE, AND THOUGHTFUL opinion of what you discovered. I had planned on going but I have to head down to Mexico for some business issues and gave my pass away to a friend. I, for sure,  am looking forward to your evaluation and anyone else on this site who gets to attend.......Bruce

Sorry guys...NOT GOING. Have family visiting from Mainland but will watch the FACEBOOK celebration.

Another thought is the Boxster is really a large car. If they want to emulate the 356 it is going to require some frame work. A 356 the size of a Boxster would just be weird. 

Now if you wanted to take it in the opposite direction ...

Man, that girl is HUGE!

Kidding aside, have you seen some of the ads on Yahoo's front page?   According to one of them, I could increase my size and staying power.

I'm starting to think Banzai is a secret admirer of Starks 357...

NOT A CHANCE....LANCE

SPEND 70 plus K on a MUTANT and another 10/20K on a BOXSTERINO? and then, throw them in a BLENDER?

Certainly an unhealthy fascination .....

I think there's some confusion about what Starke is attempting.

I don't think they're re-engineering the Boxster, but just wrapping some new sheet metal around it and retaining as much of it as possible.

I put together this composite of their drawing over a real Boxster and tried to get the scale as close as possible. One thing that jumps out is that they're using the Boxster door (and door handle). When you line the two doors up, the wheelbase is a match, too. And it also looks like they're keeping the windshield and Boxster seats (and probably as much of the interior as possible, too.

If there's 'shortening', it's at the very ends, where there aren't many mechanicals.

Robert, are you viewing on a computer or phone/tablet? It's an animated GIF file that doesn't seem to play well with phones. And, even on a computer, it may take a while to load.

I'm not getting it either, Mitch.

OK, trying one more time - as a YouTube video:

Watch it full screen on YouTube.
