No affiliation, some love them and others not so much.... I like them but the asking $ seems strong IMO

Didn't that guy just finish that build? Wonder why he is selling it so quickly, after spending months planning and waiting.

Love the RWB builds but $139k for a car with all show and no go...nah I don't think so. A car with those looks should have no less than 450whp.....gotta be able to back up the threat. In its current state it would get spanked by a variety of cars that are barely noticeable on the road.

On to the next... He's now building a 964 RWB (which are far better looking). My guess it will wear a set of iForged's latest style wheels and make the exact same publicity circuit as this one did (starting with SEMA). It was purely a marketing machine & there's nothing wrong with that in my book

Will it sell for his asking price? I'm sure that if someone of means, a serious need for instant gratification and no desire to go through the process himself, it could but I think that is the market for this car at that price.

I wish him luck & will look forward to seeing how the 964 comes out.

I'm with speedme.....aesthetics aside....what is funny is that my 75 y/o mother-in-law driving her relatively pedestrian 335i (not M3) is faster.

LOL, a rather pedestrian 335i has over 300HP, no? A base 993 has 286 HP. Maybe not the best comparison .
