You guys are so boring. Slammed cars have their own appeal, not everything has to be perfectly dynamic road racers.
So hawt.
Looks cool when standing still. Would suck for driving. It's a nice sculpture, but fails as a car imho. Cars are for driving, not for standing still. You have sculptures and other types of art for that.
DISCLAIMER: This is my opinion, please respect it as I respect yours.
What makes you think it would suck for driving? It mostly likely has air bags and would ride like a Cadillac. It would make an awesome cruiser.

TL/DR:
- There are TONS of cars that started off as anything but sporty that have been worked over by their manufacturers to be performance Focused cars.
- The fact that they started as commuter sedans, small efficient cheap hatchbacks or comfortable cruisers does not mean they cannot be performance cars
- I still think that compromising the efforts of those manufacturers for pure aesthetics is dumb
- It's my opinion i am not trying to make it your opinion.

lol.....I've never had a convertible and think it would be kind of cool. I really don't have a preference either way though. So yeah, maybe just stick with the S. This probably won't go too well over here, but i like me some proper flappy paddles. Had them on my M3 and enjoyed using them. Sometimes shifting with a stick can be a bit of a chore.
My point exactly, to drive with it you have to raise it, thus ruining the look. Driving it sitting so low would be inadvisable to say the least. It's just one of my personal pet-peeves.
Makes me want to build a slammed VW Bug or Type III
Edmund's Inside Line recently reviewed the GTS, and concluded that it is pretty much as close as one can get to an everyday-livable GT3. "What the Carerra S should have been" line comes to mind as well.
I've never driven any Porsche, but if you can afford the GTS, why not go for it?
Having owned a slammed VW Bug, I can say they look much better then they drive. Having to crawl over every speed bump and dodge every pothole to keep from ripping off the exhaust gets old after a while.
We were smitten with the Coyote 5.0-liter V8 the second we got behind the wheel of the 2011 Ford Mustang GT. We described the 412 horsepower engine as "a pot of pure honey" as well as "intoxicating," and said that the "5.0-liter V8 pulls like a jet airliner." With a curb weight of just over 3,600 pounds, the Mustang GT is not as bloated as the Camaro, but by no means a lightweight. Would we like the 5.0L even more if it had less mass to push around?
That's what Superformance had in mind with its latest creation. The maker of Shelby-licensed Cobra replicas has installed a Coyote 5.0-liter crate motor into one of its MKIII Roadsters, creating a combination of classic styling with the best of Ford's modern powertrains. The engine wedges snugly into the front of the car, and only a custom air intake and headers are all that are needed to make everything fit.
