Those seats are Carrera GT buckets.

Didn't like the journalism in this article much


Tell me more...?


Hmm the seats or the journalism? On reflection the seats aren't CGT, they just looked like it until I clicked on the zoomed in picture They are similar.

WRT to the journalism I find it hard to put my finger on it and I'm regretting criticising the chap now, but it just seems very amateur. Perhaps a bit of journalism from a club magazine etc. A fragment like this just doesn't read well to me, and nor does it confer a convincing driving impression :

'When you are approaching a corner at full noise and the time comes to bottle out...'

Other parts seem like barely reworded sections of press release, dripping with unlikely superlatives and tech stats. In addition, the repeated use of 'we' seems atypical of this type of journalism.

I'm not a professional editor, so I'm just doing my best to try and work out what I didn't like. Is the author a pistonheader? As I feel like I've been pressed into burying the hatchet... into his back


If it`s any consolation Dan , imo I think you did ok trying to highlight your criticism. The quoted sentence does look macho/i`m the man/ in a hairy chested way and a little out of place but I doubt if I could do better.


lol thanks

Back on topic, I still think its a tasteless bodykit

Is it just me or is what they've done akin to pouring gravy on top of your Lobster Thermidor?

A quick little photoshop, I think I prefer it with the diffuser and spoiler black!

Prefer the rear of the standard 430 but the front of this one!

Wouldn't say no to any of them though!!!!!
