The Porsche purists will probably want my head after I make this statement.
I think the RWB style is awesome.
Why?
Well I'll tell you after the jump....

As if we needed another great RSR to lust after...
And lust is the right word. It seems there is no other car that moves my desire meter as much as a classic 911 RSR.
Stalking a '72 911...
OK so maybe stalking is a bad word to use. Admiring? Maybe. Envious bromance? More appropriate.

Just in case you thought driving a 911 in the rain was an easy job....
Flame Broiled For Your Pleasure, v2.0
Afterfire is STILL one of my favorite things about a tuned vehicle.
Amazing that a bit of unburned fuel exiting an unrestricted pipe could bring me so much joy...

When it doubt, add more fuel!
993 or 964, what's your pleasure?
A 911 in it's purest form needs to be air-cooled. Sure the latest incarnation of the 997 GT3 RS stirs my loins, but it's the sound of the 993 or the 964 that really gives me unit movement.
What's your favorite?
NJMP + opposite lock = FUN
For anyone that is into high-performance driving, opposite lock is that magical moment before disaster. Either you save it and your a hero with god-like skills behind the wheel; or you're the punchline of the dinner time joke and the end of the day.
Whatever the outcome, it can only be enhanced if you had your in-car video records the whole incident, or if a passenger was present who can relay the experience first hand to all your friends.
Nirvana? Having both.
10th Historic Acropolis Rally 2011
As I get older, I find myself becoming more appreciative of vintage vehicles and historic race cars. Sure I can enjoy a clip of the latest and greatest dual-clutch creation, but whenever I see a vintage race car tearing up a gravel road or tarmac, I can't help but think that today's drivers have it easy. Some of these classic machines barely had power steering; let alone a hydraulically assisted gear selector. There was no electronically monitored vehicle stability programs; just an experienced right foot to determine your direction in a slide. No fancy in-car telemetry to tell you when your about to DNF; just a well-trained ear noticing the camshaft shearing.
Go directly to 1:32 for the pure sound that can only be delivered by a car older than you...
Reminder: never go cheap when building your cage...
Professionally built cages are worth their weight in gold. It's one of those items that you should spend a fortune on, only in hopes of never having to use it.
Caterham R500 Vs 996 GT2
I love a good chase video. This guy gives a GT2 a run for it's money, and doing it with complete style to boot. What's a little oversteer among friends anyway? Love the front fender action, gives you perspective on how much suspension travel actually takes place. Rear view shows you how upset a car can get at the limit. Watch at 1:50; that's what being airborne sounds like.
Big hairy ones. Great car control, awesome car, even better sound. Nice job!
Flame Broiled For Your Pleasure
Afterfire is the best way to display that you have accomplished your mission. If your mission was to scare anyone who may be tailgating you, that is.
