Default First drive in a RWB 993!
This is just PHAT! So spartan, stripped out, mechanical and simply raw. Was an amazing experience, one worthy of a share.

"The German sports car has a thumping 450 horsepower 3.8 litre flat 6"

With N/A motor.

Is that the 450hp engine? If so, it looks pretty stock!
I doubt there are 450 horses in there!

450 hp from an aircooled NA motor would be incredible. The Ed Pink 4.0 that Singer uses puts out short of 400 and the new Williams motor they are working on is closer to 500 (I think). Not sure about the Williams motor but the Ed Pink one pushes $100K.

It’s common knowledge within the tuning community that omitting the distributor vent hose adds 165 hp.

video should be renamed "if you are thinking about an RWB build, watch this video and you will change your mind"

#savethe993

Is the owner a Phoenix Suns fan or something?

Couldn’t get past 3 minutes in the video. Not only the car is an abomination, but it looks like the most uncomfortable car I’ve ever seen. Painful to watch

Then this must be pushing over 450...it also has a K&N filter.
