Took some pics of a really neat looking RSR that came back for some front end duct work. The car is built/designed/constructed in a vintage type fashion, so some of the parts/cage/etc etc are 'old school' in style (unlike alot of the newwer ones where everything fits tighter, different tubing etc etc).

Eitehr way it's a pretty cool car. Owner of this car also owns the 'Presitage' dealers in North Jersey. Has a few old SuperCup cars and other ones too.

Hope you guys like it! I'm not a green fan, but it's at home on this car!

I really like seeing "period-correct" builds. Awesome car.

Aaaaaaand to digress, RWB is cool, but it's just this years trend. Next year it'll be fiat spyders with chris rado style F-wings.

Since you people seem to love taking things off track and turn it into a pissing contest, I guess I'll join in and take my dick out. RWB Pandora One would be no slouch against this on the track.

RWB makes nice cars. Undoubtedly some are pretty fast on track. Maybe I shouldn't have made such a bold statement, but even looking at them you can see that they aren't meant to be wheel to wheel cars, nor 100% time trial (attack for the kids) cars. Look at how few of the cars even have a basic roll cage in them. That doesn't mean they can't be fast, and doesn't mean that they aren't capable...but anyone with a good eye can spot the street car in race clothes. The thing is though, there aren't many good eyes anymore.

You bring up Pandora one, I had to google it. Seems like a cool car. Impressive power as well. The thing is, how long will thing stay together, and how well will it actually handle? A few things seem odd in it's build (but that doesn't make it wrong). At the end of the day though , it's one thing to make some ridiculous one time machine. Plenty of people have across the globe. The difference is, being able to duplicate it, and manipulate it, and make more than a few token magazine cars. That's what seperates the two IMO. The thing is, internet fame of some of these 'one time' cars overshadows those really being innovative and doing it. Maybe that's what gripes me the most.



...Don't get me wrong though, some of those Flat Black RWB cars are pretty neat looking to me. Functional? Maybe not. BUt a dumped 930 would be a cool car to come to work in :D
