I feel kinda bad about calling him a pasty white fat guy now. But in my defense, some of my best friends are pasty white fat guys. But calling him that was unnecessary.

Do all automotive writers know each other or something?

Make it a Cayman S instead of a Boxster and flat desert tan for mine. Thanks Maroon!

We all need a dream.

Oh, I forgot to mention the twin turbo setup with blow through ITBs... mmm...presurized carbon airbox....

Moton remote reservoirs are a must.

Yes. We get together periodically and talk about you guys. Okay, not really.

Also, I'll say this about that: I don't personally care how you set up your car. Hey, as long as you're playing with cars, it's all cool to me. To the rest of the world, we're all in the same stupid club, anyway.

They're designed to be street0driven track rats--what could be wrong with that.

Oldschool, stance and trackwhore all in the same place??? This is a good thing.

If I ever hit the lotto, a 993 RWB will be i my stable.

I like them RWD cars maybe it's becuase I have a thing for aircooled and Flat paint, to each their own, I would totally rock one street and Track if I had the coin.

I don't get why quote purists have a problem with rwb the bodywork looks pretty close to what the factory put on for racing purposes. The wings are basically 993 gt2 bases with extended element something that I think every 993 racer I've ever seen has.

hmm.

Hooniverse had the Pandora One up as a nominee for Hooniverse Car of The Year this morning. It appears that its since been removed.

Dont blame them, the Fatlace/illest fanboy crowd probably would have piled on skewed the vote way worse than the datsun drift truck last year.

It hasn't been removed, just rescheduled.

That was my fault. I scheduled it for 1:30...not realizing we are on a 24 hour schedule and 1:30 is 1:30 in the morning and 13:30 is 1:30 in the afternoon.

It will return when it should have at 1:30 this afternoon.

I have never been good at technology.

(BTW, it's my nomination)

Oh cool, did not realize you wrote over there. I read it this morning. I cant deny that its an awesome car.

My previous concern still stands, regarding the, umm.. fanboys. I guess that alone cant be reason enough to exclude a car from being nominated though.

Yeah, then you could never have any votes about anything. There will always be fervent fanboy's regardless of the vote at hand.

Yes, it is an awesome car. The video of it on the dyno kills me!

I don't imagine we get many fanboys over at hooniverse.com, but I certainly welcome their votes! lol.

I like "Number One" for the idea of front and rear fender canards, but it's a tippy and I don't like that. (the guy that owns the shop drives it everyday in UK traffic, but it's still unforgivable).
