I'm trying to figure out why I like 911 RWBs

Something inside me should be saying "NO. This is not practical, this is not reasonable, and it's dumb and looks stupid."

Yet, they're only growing more and more attractive... I just loved the flared-out rear wheels, and the spoiler, and the stance...

Back in the day, I wouldn't have stood for any of this crap. I guess I'm getting old...

Why yes, thank you. That's exactly what I'm feeling right now.

Thank you. Thank you so much for understanding.

Maybe it's the ridiculousness of it? Plus the potential it could actually perform? The unique-quality? How crazy expensive it would be? All of the above?

And it just occurred to me that there's some sort of (fake?) air intake as part of the spoiler. So much want, yet I should be repulsed.

The "ill" comment is just that there's a bit too much booty on those, but I do like it a lot better than that F40 LM conversion a few posts back.

You realize that this car's mission is to kill you? Shit, I drove a mid-90s Porsche 911 and the ass end threatened to step around and end my life. I think it was the last air-cooled year, but those with more knowledge can school me.

pretty sure that's a real intake, leads directly into the radiator

Is it because they are the most goddamn sexy things on earth? Maybe their gorgeous curves? Sick wheels? Unique style? these things are my favorite

What's to figure out? They're glorious. I'd just delete some branding.

I think I know why I like them. Cuz of this hot wheels I think the first real nuts race porsche and I loved it.

And really the crazy porsche race cars that are based on a 911 or similar production car that are just taken to the extreme. I think this is why I like them.

AM3R, aka resident RWB Fanboy here!

They are very functional. Many are daily driven in Thailand and the phillipines. They are also regularly tracked.

Nakai San himself tracks his rwb, which is actually lighter than a miata!

My mother's co-worker ordered one. There will be many pictures when he gets it.

I wanna see! What color will it be? Are you going to get a ride? Make sure he takes it to Supercar Sunday often! RWB's are kinda my current dream car (in the actually obtainable category)

10/10 will get a ride. Not sure on the color yet. I still am getting this info second hand from my mother, but I'm going to see his collection soon. His 17 or 19 year old son built a Kouki and this dude just finished building a rat rod because he can. I MUST SEE EVERYTHING. I'll see if I can get you a ride if he's a chill guy.

Does RWB only offer kits and spoilers? What's their full list of possible upgrades?

I'd be worried about DDing one, stanced, on Michigan roads - yikes!

Besides kits and spoilers, they also do wheels and suspension. Custom made coilovers are fitted to each car and wheels with optimum looks/performance are fitted to each car.

This I can respect. It doesn't look functional for the U.S., though, and it's a bit too out there for me, personally, but I gained a lot of respect for RWB when I saw that the guys actually race some of their creations.

Funny, that's how I started loving them. At first I saw pictures and thought "hey, looks cool but not for me" but when I saw pictures and videos of them on the track.. And them doing WELL on the track, I fell in love. The suspension of an RWB is carefully crafted, despite what the extremely low stance gives away.

If I drove one, it would have to be black (think FATLACE/illest with less camber), or one of the rare molded kits with a small ducktail.
