^Real for sure but def not stock wheels. I've seen a carrera gt kit based on a boxster and you can tell from the split second you see it. If this is indeed a copy, well they did a damn good job on it.

I stick with real.
And to explain the plate - The car is mostly CF, hence CARBONcopy. Not a replica of anything, just a CF car. Still makes sense IMO.

Looks real to me... I see nothing that makes me think it would be fake..

That was my first thought when I saw the plate as well it as well, I've seen CGTs before, and this one looked exactly like the others with the exception of the aftermarket wheels

Clearly I have no idea! Just a poor guess, based in large part on the plate. I defer to the much more knowledgeable on here, as usual!

My bet is it's this kit with different wheels: Carrera C-Gt, Boxster conversion

A real CGT is larger and does not have a stance like that; if a CARBONcopy plate doesn't tell you it's fake I'm not sure what will...

INDEEED, I believe that car is a COPY. Picture taken in South Tulsa, OK. I have seen this car before in person and it doesn't look quite right compared to the others I've seen.

There are 2 CGTs in Tulsa. 1.) Basalt Black with low miles for a collector and the 2.) Is a GT Silver that gets driven quite often by a local PCA club member that has a "Garage-Mahal".

I guess I should introduce myself seeing how this is my 1st post. My name is Kyle and I have a 2007 C2S coupe, Guards Red over Full Sand Beige Leather; Although I love lurking in the GT section hoping one day to have a Mexico Blue GT3.

Looks like a kit car (albeit a good one) to me.

Just looks a bit too short to me, other than that I don't see what would give it off as a fake.
