Who ever did this to this car should have all ten fingers twisted off their hands.

If that car has less than 600HP I hate it. If it has over 600 it's cool. If it has a stock power train, it's idiotic.

I'm torn over the rwb thing, so I won't comment yet.

What does he charge to make these monsters though?... Engines are left stock right?.. So these are relatively slow but very loud and wide cars right?

Agree 100%. I just wish he was doing it to 996's instead of Porsches.

Pricing
http://rauhwelt-usa.com/pricing/993-wide-body/

Just accept it for what it is

People get too deep and want the world

Probably some RWB conversions had engine mods done elsewhere

But if the body conversions and engine mods to 600hp and beyond where all done at the same time...I can already hear the mobs saying it's a total waste of money...

Fast or being fast...

I agree, most RWB cars are just sheep in wolves clothing.

I like it, but I see these as more of art. So driving them comes second.

Part me if I sound to critical, but what art has to do with this? This is the typical Japanese way of modifying cars, it is an exercise in excess nothing else.

Or maybe his vision was that he wanted looks to match the performance of his car...

As for "Japanese way of modifying cars", yeah, the ricer big exhaust go no where is played out, but RWB choose a quality basis to begin with, everyone is trying to top Porsche

In terms of excess, I think the car factories started that race...100hp, 200hp 300hp, 400hp, 500hp......1000hp...S, R, RS, RSR, GT3, GT3 RS, GT2, GT2 RS...

I don't think Rennlist is a bunch of Porsche lovers not able to welcome these RWB Porsches into the family???

I like the look but as said, without performance mods to match this falls into the poser category for me, especially because more weight and drag are being added in the process.

Porsche philosophy is form follows function. I fail to see the function of some of that form.
