Default RWB Bangkok

I have been to Bangkok many times and the cost of cars there due to importation tax is crazy high. My old GF was a doctor in Philadelphia and eventually went back to Bangkok to work there. I have seen the wealthy and the not so wealthy side of BKK and there is no doubt who ever built this is doing well.

I've had some time to digest RWB and i find them more repulsive than i probably I should. Not for my taste.

I am still on the fence on these RWB cars. It is a shame when they take a perfectly, nice 993 or 964 and "cut and paste" it. I rather see something that has been abused/damaged and bring it back to life. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO YOUR 20K MILES CARS!

so what is it?
A 993 with wider wheels?

Wouldnt a GT2 flare kit be the same result?

Did Porsche ever build a 993 this wide to race?

Wow! Love it.

The stick up the a$$ attitude around here sometimes is laughable. I mean, I get it if it's not your bag but who cares if someone cuts up a 993. It's just a car. Make something great even greater. It's art man.

Reminds me of this classic Ikea commercial.

What was the RWB car you drove like? Did it perform as good or better than your 993?

I find it interesting how people that say art that they don't like isn't art.

I think the RWB cars are interesting, but since it seems that most of them are putting out stock horsepower, it's quite easy to see these cars as all flash and no (well, relatively little) dash. Perhaps the rest of the board feels the same way.

They are quite a bit wider than a GT2. As the title (should) say, not for the purist
