RE: How to ruin a Porsche 964 RS - video

[LuS1fer]

Looks OK to me.

It's not like it's a rare Marina, there are millions of 911s about and it's nice to see something different even if it drives like crap.

Each to their own is what I say, world would be a boring place if nobody tried something different.

[Agoogy]

nice stance though...originally... then it's shot by the air-drop scenario.
and the girl? very nice, I was expecting some hip swaying judging by the reponses...but my god, she is going for it! well done her for staying upright particulalry when throwing her right leg forwards each time

Stop moaning, it's just a lump of metal - you lot sound like those guys who got upset when clarkson et al smashed a morris marina to pieces. Jeez, it's not like there are not another gazillion 911's in the world, with more being churned out every day.

They're still making 964's? Excellent news.

I think this just about sums it is. EggsBenedict clearly doesn't know his 911's. For me, the 964 is/was the best of the lot.

Looks like she's taken it in the RS a few too many times...

Its a C4. Freeze the video at 39 secs

EPIC Quote

Ruined? I think it looks fooking amazing! Right until I saw it had air ride. I'm not a fan of a suspension modification that makes cornering worse

If the car was on coilovers at that height, with them wheels

Great quote above ^

Why are Phead joining the bashing brigade, really dissapointed by write ups like these.

Like the music, what is it?

Amen, new wheels and suspension, hardly worth crying about

And she can't even walk properly at the end!

I thought that, what's wrong with her legs?

I'm guessing that maybe she got WD40 on her Ben Wa balls and was struggling for grip.

Well, OK, they aren't making 964's (unless you count this: http://www.worldcarfans.com/111112538498/964-porsc... but it's hardly rare - they made getting on for 63 thousand of them. It's not a special one (it's no RS), so it's hardly worth getting your knickers in a twist.

Redacted!

[Sivraj]

Have to say aesthetically I don’t have a problem with that car or driver.
I would need to experience the handling before passing comment on the car and the driver!...

Guy near me covers his floor-scraping Golfs and Audis in Porsche-branded car covers. No Porsches though.

That is all.

Good spot.

Also at 0:46 you can see the indicator stalks etc. and they are not from an RS - or at least the extra ones are not.

[Kam B]

that kinda stuff happens to Porsche's a lot - they usually people from the vdub scene who can afford to go from a Mk1 gti with 10x11inc in deep dish wheels to somthing like this and remain to have words like 'yeh bruv' brap brap braps' in their vocab

the 'vdubbers' all probably look or dress like this

[sootyrumble]

I love the look of that, don't like the neons or stereo mods, but from the outside it looks as hot as she does.

As to all the people knocking dubbers etc. i have been to GTI international and Edition 38 and some of the most beautiful cars are to be seen there. Oh and yes most of them are properly quick :-).

"Dubbers" are some of the most avid and technically gifted modders out there and true petrolheads. I bet most of the people here commenting on them knows less about the internals of their car than the average "Dubber" does, oh and does less work on their car for themselves
