Dude.. I was saying the same thing to myself... I was testing the waters out in every single bay area strip club and sure enough everytime I'd gotten there you'd already been through there two days prior you dirty old man!

I've driven a few of the replicas. The Beck definately has the best fit and finish among the replica-builders out there. It's a handful to drive fast just like the real one (or so I've heard), don't expect it to handle or behave anything like a 996 Turbo, they are very very twitchy. But, if you're looking for something relatively quick and lots of fun on a nice day, then you can't go wrong with the 550 Spyder replica.

Now, not to thread-jack but Chuck Beck has a 904 replica pretty much almost ready for production and from what I've heard it's also a total blast to drive...

now that 904 is sexy. imagine seeing one driving down the road... I mean your rolling along in a gt3 or 2 or TT thinkin your pretty cool and then you see a 904 ( even a replica) cruising along.... that would be humbling i think. Thats a must have.

I prefer the look of the 718 RSK. Does Beck make a replica for that?
