RWB Porsches are blasphemous, ostentatious, vulgar affronts to everything the 911 and Porsche ever stood for... God I love them.
I'd go so far to say that if I had $100k to play around with I might commission one myself. It'd be hard to overlook a C7 Z06 or F-Type R, but every RWB Porsche is a one-of-one, unique piece of incredible craftsmanship and engineering, and I don't know if I could resist that...

If they go faster than why not!? But to be honest, I think they are more show than go, which is kind of annoying. Wider fenders should mean it is better in the corners!!

They are kinda show cars, aren't they. A lot of them do get taken to the tracks, but I don't really know what exact engine modifications are normal for RWB cars (the one above makes around 300HP IIRC). Personally I'd put the 445HP 3.8 from a wrecked GT3RS in the back if I ever built one, or maybe even the 600HP+ GT2 RS engine. A car that looks as batshit as that deserves a batshit powerplant.

I say keep it air cooled, but turbocharge it. Not only will you gain massive Porsche points, but it will sound nasty! You won't make as much power as the GT2RS engine but it will probably be enough.

OK you win that's awesome. Now to find a 935 engine...

I'm curious as to why the concept of pluralization is that difficult to grasp.

Noted. At this point I've spent 14 hours in the library cramming for a physics exam and my brain can barely remember to keep my heart pumping, much less differentiate pluralizations and possessives... or proofread, apparently.

The thing is most of them are not really track cars but in contrast to your typical faux racer they're actually fairly well thought out, usable street machines. Like that splitter lip up front is actually made of hard rubber so you can scrape it without destroying your bumper and it has brakes that'll work even on drizzly monday mornings.

Or the 4.0 in a highly modified CaymanS...

Uh you better watch this video if you think that;
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
LOL, His cars look wild but remain insanely functional, especially in terms of body work looking nuts but being able to navigate horrible roads and countries.
Thinking the cars he builds are anything but track weapons would be a mistake.

If his cars are "AGAINST EVERYTHING PORSCHE STOOD FOR"
Why do they resemble closer than any other porsches a GT3 CUP CAR, RSR, 911 FACTORY RACE CAR.

Taking a classic 911 and slapping on a big wing and huge fender flares and dropping it for the sake of appearances doesn't exactly seem like the Porsche way to me. Sure, RWB can also modify the suspension and chassis, but you must admit that, at the end of the day, these cars are mostly built as show cars, with more emphasis being placed on appearance than performance, though the latter is definitely a concern with many owners. Your point about the racecars would be valid so long as every single modification made on every RWB Porsche was there to solely improve performance as it would on the RSR's and Cup cars, which is not the case. Nakai-san builds some incredible machines but you'd be kidding yourself to compare factory racers with aftermarket tuner cars.

I hope you watched my video of all the RWB's racing. No you are wrong sorry bro, go read about the guy or watch a documentary on him.
These are far from show cars in every way.
1) the are built for insane usable power and ass track weapons without going to an unreliable unworthy track car (aka a showcar)
2) The body kits and aero are built to be functional but also built to GO ON THE STREET AND BE USED, and sustain at the track without buying new expensive pieces. They are also built to be used in shady roaded Asian countries aka Not Japan.
3) The cars are completely gone thru with performance in mind
I can see how if you didn't know the full details or RWB and the cars that he does you would think b/c of the huge wheels and body kits these are show cars. No you are flat out wrong, the reason the guy is a master is he has made these race parts that general die on the street both track worthy and streetable, truly something special.
