Default 964 Badass?
Now that I have one, I am wondering what you think makes a 964 badass? Please tell my why you think so...

In my case the turbo arches, it's what the back of a 911 should look like.

IMO---I believe the 964 was the last REAL Porsche 911. Granted I love the 993 Twin, I think the 964 was the ultimate shape and defines Porsche.

And come on, how cool is that little brown oil leak that follows you wherever you go?

A Porsche emblem on the back of the car?

Not sure, but next time I will ask some of the many grid girls it always seems to attract...

Sort of like 'price': If you have to ask...




(Seriously, though, w/o my secondary muffler, when she barks to life on starting... Mmmmm. That's badass, to my ears. Notoriously at gas stations.)

Well i guess id be excluded as well, thanks to previous owner, joke was more of a "common" prob and since he just purchased, id assume there is one, rear badge etc, would lead me to believe te overhaul wasnt performed

Bad ***? I would say, a 964 that is:

Tastefuly Lowered
Speedline wheels
Tear drop mirrors
RSA, or Turbo S wing with corresponding front splitters
Wide body/Narrow Body (really like both)
993 Door handles
H4
Dual outlets with decent exhaust note
Big reds
RS door panels

humm... yeah... that would do it for me...

If I get picky... some nice leather Recaro Pole Position Seats.. RS carpet... hummm

Check out LA964RS. That's bad-***

The 964 has the potential to be a 'modern' R Gruppe car. Bling=not bad ***

'93 rsa 3.8

+1 for LA964RS, and I agree with Wachuko -- I'll take mine in Maritime blue with black cup 1 wheels.
