I think it's gorgeous. I'd love it.

Although I don't think it'd make it out of my driveway.

i think it looks awesome, but if all the motor has is webbers and cams it could use more power to back the looks. with that wing and 15 inch wide tires he should never have a problem with traction.

Someone needs to buy this car and decorate it with the correct racing 'bling'.

It looks like a good enough 935 replica except what is it good for? It's not a race car but it's certainly not a street car, the motor needs a turbo or two to get enough power to make the aero aids aid rather than hinder, and if you want to enter car shows you're likely to have to compete with the real deal.

Remember that "car personality" thing that was floating around on the rennlist a while ago. It said that 944 owners pick up chicks with 'big hair' and 911 owners have little d*cks?

Anyway, I love my Guards Red 944.

I don't see that as a faitfull replica. As far as outside looks go, generally it's nice but accurate it's not...

Wow that thing is breathtaking - looks like a very well done replica....The 935 has always one of my favorite Racing Porsches...the engineering behind that car is very interesting to read...clever interpretation of the current IMSA rulebook resulted in a world-beating racecar...read up!

I wonder if you would feel the same if it had the 600 Turbo horses to go along with it...only thing that could make it any better if you ask me...

Kudos to that guy for faithfully reproducing one of the greatest Racing Porsches of all time!

That said, I would NEVER drive that on the street, or do that to my own car...I'd prefer a 1974 Carrera RS replica...Martini-Rossi paint scheme...
