I'm wondering if these rwb cars drive well at all? Heard from some guys I know that was involved in building one these that the handling got significantly worse afterwards and that the owner had to spend quite a bit afterwards to get it drive properly.

You can make a car look like a race car with a saw and sandpaper, but you can't make it drive like one.

On a side note, makes me wonder what they did to make it drive better again

Without a proper shakedown at a track I don't see how they really could get the car's handling up to spec.. sucks to hear, I hope RWB had some input in the 'recalibration'.

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

OH FUCK YOU OH OH OOOOH~

I can see how the handling would go to shit with this after you take a proper spec 911 and slap on wheels that are more than twice as wide and lower it a bunch without taking any of that into account for corners.
Beautiful cars for sure and epic pics from Marcel as usual!

i guess it is dependent on what the customer asked for in the build.

some have seen the track. results may vary:

RWB has a custom set of Aragosta coilovers they use for their builds, but like thumper said its probably up to the customer. Nakai doesn't seem like the person to build a Porsche and leaving it driving like shat.

for us poor folks who can't afford the real thing you can get your own in 1/18 scale (coming soon):




(i am assuming that you will be allowed to build this yourself and not have to bring someone in from RWB to crash at your place while he builds the model for you... also i have no info on how it handles )
