RWB?

That must be "the hourglass shape" in automotive form.

Camo?

Orange?

No Decals?

More 911s than a GT-3 Race?

Lime?

Red?

Stealth Grey?

No Wing?

Duck Tail?

Track Action.

Road Grime

Brown 911

And I'm out of speed hunters photos :P

I really like the RWB kits, if only because they look so Japanese. Maybe I'm just nostalgic about my youth, when I played Tokyo Xtreme Racer on the Dreamcast.

Are they ruined? Nah, they're just different. Perhaps they will become their own niche collectible a few decades down the line, like the Yenkos or Callaways or the Henneseys. Even if they go down in obscurity, the purists should be happy... the original models are just that much rarer! That's good for the market.

I don't even know what generation all the iPods in my house are, how am I supposed to have any idea what this thread is all about? Sure, I guess I could click on the link in the first post, but it is more fun to skip that, read some of the comments on the first page then skip ahead to page 6. So, RWB is a company that converts old Porsches to modified old Porsches and some guy has his panties in a bunch because at least one person on the planet doesn't share his same exact sense of style?

How did this ever get to 6 pages?

...because this is the current "it" car on the web.

There are also lots of pretty pictures to talk about.

You do realize how much your "I don't care what anyone thinks" old man schitck makes you look like a douche, right?

I personally love his R32 and Hachi Roku more than his Porsches There was an article a good few years back, in I think Import Tuner? about his 240Z. I just don't know why nobody complains about them, it's only the Porsche's.

Dial back the zip-tie, hellaflush, flatbill, and fatlace and you've got yourself one hell of a car.

HAI GUISE

Hey everybody, it's the aforementioned fat, pasty, white douchebag checking in.

While I absolutely DO Google my name all the time, in this case a GRM reader sent me the link. As a NASA racer I've been reading the magazine for a long time now. I called JG because I'm a fan of GRM and I wanted to discuss his thoughts on the article with him. He was kind enough to call me back and discuss the matter for a bit.

I don't claim to be a nice guy, or even a handsome one. Nor am I always correct --- when you write 5,000 words for publication every week of the year, often from an airport lounge or after a sixteen-hour work day, you're going to make mistakes. The most I can offer is that I try to be truthful and forthright with my opinions. TTAC has about 1.6 million unique readers on a monthly basis, some of whom are deeply passionate about things like aircooled Porsches and some who think sporting cars of any kind are a waste of money, space, and resources.

As I mentioned to JG, although I have three Porsches and love them, I'm not a cork-sniffer or a spoiled auto-journo. I've been competing for nearly a decade now in everything from regional autocross to the Koni Challenge. I pay my own way, I build and fix my own race cars, and I am passionate about promoting competition as an alternative to hard-parking and freeway racing.

I'm working on an article about Christian Maloof's 993 that will offer some contrast to the RWB aesthetic.

If I could, I'd be here on GRM forums all the time talking about stuff with all of you but I have three jobs, a two-year-old son, and the oft-discussed flotilla of bitches, yo. For those of you who are younger, better-looking, and more consistently correct about things than I am but don't have anybody to hold your helmet during the arguments with the Race Director, I can only offer this advice: be sincere and forthright with women, just like readers, and understand that some of them will go on the Internet and complain about your lack of skills --- jb

Maloof's 993 for those without the googles.

I'm totally lost. Did you mean to quote someone else?

In reply to 92CelicaHalfTrac:

LOL....now I am even more confused. I guess I need to spend more time on the googles and less time at work. I guess I am a douche, or at least look like one because I don't know why this thread has grown to 6 pages.
