it is a neat looking car.
However, If Porsche didnt need to go any further out on the GT2 flares then why should somebody else?
The bolt on flare has always been controversial, but clearly the amount of flare on the RWB car is just too much surface area to be considered tasteful or art, especially from a design/engineering stand point.
It is very boy racer-ish.
Gimmie simple GT2 flares and i would be happy.

I guess that's why you have list of mods a mile long on your Pcar.

Anything else that is aftermarket is the same design of Porshe Motorsports. Interchangable. Supension bits etc.
With my car, i applied what has been tried and tested by porsche. i didnt play back yard engineer and design my own wing or rockers.
One only needs to look at the Rocker Panels on the RWB car to see how the extent of the flares start to take away the refined look of the 993.
Im sure it may be functional. But very excessive.
The 993 RSR had proper flares and clean rockers which complimented the car and was functional.

I wonder if the canards on the front were thought out or just placed there for looks.
I am a fan of this style but ONLY on a race car, to do that to the outside while keeping the inside stock seems silly. As mentioned previously with only 270hp the car has way too much flash vs dash.
Here is a raced out 993... I am pretty sure those fender flares are not stock
I have no idea how effective all that body work was, but it sure looks like a modern 935.

The Singers are well engineered performers, but IMO these RWB cartoons are seemingly body shop productions. All he is doing is copying what Porsche did with wide-bodied race cars, and he gets treated as a new messiah.
This is where the Fast & Furious crowd meets Porsche.

I thought this was an interesting thread on RWB cars. After reading that Nakai runs mid 58's at Tsukuba I had to rethink what he can do with these cars.
MOST people who have cars built by him are probably not out to race, but obviously he can build a real functional race car.
