What's the difference between this and any of the other RWB cars? White, targa, got it. How about the interior? Engine?

I think part of it is being similar, Tim states how being in the RWB official owners group is a big plus.

I just got a ride in this car on Saturday. Wow, does it handle! Between the wide stance and the sticky tires, it is near impossible to upset this car in a corner. It felt more planted than my GT3 RS, as it has none of that light feeling in the front end. It just digs in.

Like most RWB cars, this one will be a constant work in progress. To date, there are no engine mods, other than exhaust (which sounds incredible). I am very impressed with this car.

If you haven't ridden in an RWB car, I highly recommend it if you get the chance.

Correct me if I'm wrong. RWB is a appearance package only. The cars owner decides what performance mods they want to make. I heard RWB has a few guidelines on ride height and size wheels for the car but thats about it.
What brand of upgrades the cars owner decides to use is up to them. So wouldn't every RWB ride and feel different?

I think that is fair to say. This owner did significant suspension work (which most receive). Given the ride height and wheels sizes, most are destined to handle quite well, in my opinion of course.

Most critics go right to the engine mods, but don't most of us already own a 993? I think they are very good, engine wise, out of the box.

I'm not here to defend anyone's choices or to disagree with anyone's opinion. I have seen this car in person, both during the build and afterward. I've also ridden in it. My personal opinion is that it came out quite well.

With tires that wide on the front and back it better handle well... Just saying
I personally like the RWB kits more on 964s then 993s.

I like these RWB cars. They increase the value of 993s with uncut fenders/bodywork.
