I have no doubt people like that, but how is it tasteful?

It might actually belong in the hot rods and customs thread.

Those are Fiat headlights, aren't they?

Here's a WRX STI with 1000 hp from a 2.5L flat 4 with 50 PSI of BOOOOOOOOOOOOOST. And it's thicc.

I can't tell if the coating on the block serves any purpose, or if it's just paint.

Looks very unassuming, I'm glad the owner didn't go crazy with the looks like he did the power.

Not your ordinary ping pong.

Being an aluminium billet block it's most likely anodized. This will protect it from that nasty oxidation bare aluminium gets.

Did someone take the bling off an AMG G63 or is that a poverty spec one? Looks so much better, either way.

It's a prevous generation G500 with some different trim bits. We never got a "regular" G-wagen except for military use, and whatever the importers manage to ship over.

JZM typically have some absolutely stunning cars, but this stands out as my perfect aircooled 911... ST's are the best looking of all 911 variants IMO, and although this isn't a real one, the quality of the build is incredible, and being a replica, there would be less issue using is seriously.

Built to the lightweight modern-RS philosophy, a smart 1987 911 3.2 Carrera with the highly sought after G50 transmission and all-important right-hand drive was chosen as a base car for this superb driver’s 911. The car was stripped to a bare shell and professionally backdated to the pre-1973 look. All body corrosion was removed with the shell restored to as-new condition. The front was converted to a centre-fill fuel tank, while the spoilerless engine cover was fitted with a handmade engine grille. Many parts were manufactured especially for this 911, and the chassis bristles with bespoke fabrication include strut tower reinforcements front and rear and a very tastefully modified electrical fuse and relay layout.

Inside the car, a rear roll cage envelops period Corbeau sports seats are fitted with retractable harnesses. A WEVO G50 shifter selects the gears with pinpoint precision. Brakes have been converted to a non-servo adjustable pedalbox system with the Bilstein dampers supplied to suit the lightweight Carrera. The lightweight doors are beautifully finished, with the clutter-free dash setting the sports-purpose ethos. Aluminium pedals and footboards with an RS carpet set emphasise the lightweight theme, while the odometer shows 2,200 miles since the car was fully restored.

The story of all great 911s starts and ends with the perfect flat six, and this car is a perfect example. Under the engine cover lies a Redtek-built 3-litre ST-style engine, running modern EFI from a Canems ECU through high-butterfly PMO throttle bodies. The detailed spec is too much to list here, but suffice to say that it is an absolute torque monster! Full engine build sheets are available for interested parties. The transmission was also completely rebuilt with a new LSD and new synchros throughout. The total bill for engine and gearbox was just shy of £30,000, and building this engine would cost even more at today’s money.

Is this what perfection looks like?

 

[SPhilli911]

Perfect. In a room full of modern GT 911s it just looks even better still.
