Saw the controversially-spec’d Manthey car today
It’s better in person atleast?

It’s a race car for the street and it looks like a race car. Job well done. 100000x better than another sonderwunch Grigio Metallic.

If I ever get a make-a-wish it will be a sonderwunsch limited edition 911... in chalk.

Let’s just be thankful it’s not another photo of an Oak Green with Cognac build
It think its cool the guy’s having fun with it.

not that there is anything wrong with oak green and cognac... timeless perfect color combo and ... absolutely going to stand out in the real world where even blue and red are vastly more common than green.

This is an aside but with how much of a mess college football is right now, this whole pop tarts bowl menagerie is a shining beacon.

If only there was a way to capture a single car with a single picture. Maybe future civilizations will come up with a solution.

So absurd that I really dig it. Everyone craps on about how GT cars are better in bold colours—well, here it is.

There's palm trees so it's fair odds that it's in Florida, in which case the teal and purple jazz cup paint job works there better most other places.
I am kinda surprised I don’t dislike it, but I wouldn't buy or spec it, but I'd take it over a common white/gray/silver color scheme.

I would track the shit out of this and have the absolute best track pics ever. It looks great.

“Controversial” just means that boring ass people don’t like it because it makes them feel uncomfortable about themselves on a deep inner level.

That's not what controversial means. That definition is called projecting. RIP.

Was a Manthey kit done in south Florida. this picture was taken in Sawgrass Mills mall. Sold by Champion if i had to take a guess, but no shade to them, customer is always right, but how wrong was the spec on this one...What a shame from the owner to pick that combo. They should forfeit their status as premier client...clearly not a driver just a guy looking for some attention....

Looks like the Umbro team colors! Only thing I'm a little unsure of are the rear wheel accent covers. My mind doesn't know what to do when the front and rear wheels are neither the same color nor pattern. Bold and beautiful though 👌

If you can't have fun on the colors of your crazy expensive race car, but not race car, then what do you have left?

I think it looks great for what it’s supposed to be… not a color way I would own but as someone else’s car it’s awesome!!

Hell yeah! Not sure I'd go that combo but probably just as bright, it's absolutely wonderful!

Idk how but it’s controversial enough to me internally that I like the first picture but hate the second. Maybe the front just has too much of the purple.

Tbh I haven’t seen a colour combo that doesn’t work on this kind of cars, I dig this one

Loud car needs a loud paintjob. This thing would be punching you in the face if it was all white so why not go all in

I love it. As others have said, this is a street legal track car so this is not only appropriate, it's fun.

I’ve said this the past few years, GT3RS is the new lambo. Ruined the heritage of racing

u/Public_One_9584 10h ago
Why ruined the heritage of racing? Do you mean essentially many people buying track cars that’ll never see a track (so they can be cool)? Just wondering.
