Since we all know that there are some awesome "Outlaw 914s" represented on 914world, I thought it might be cool to start a thread. Show us your "Outlaw" rides.

I think "outlaw" connotes more of an attitude or a spirit than a particular drivetrain selection. An outlaw has to look like its a the stock car...mostly...but be subtly or not so subtly different. It can look radical, like Mike Bellis' or can look tame like the green 356/911, but either way, it has to be radically different from stock in the coolest of ways. It must be innovative, be well crafted and an extreme performance monster. Definitely not your grandfathers Porsche.
Is Ricks 918-S an outlaw? How about Chappies? or Marty's? I think so... I'd like to see a 914 with tubbed rear wheels, completely de-trimmed, dechromed, pop-out doors and a tilt-rear end. Attached image(s) |

I remember outlaws starting out of the 356 cult, looking rough like just finishing the Carrera Pan America down Mexico way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Today old Detroit- iron hot rods have their own Rat Rod movement..probably where all of this matte car painting came from (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) There are a lot of type4 engines powering 356 outlaws today, fewer with 911 power. On the 914, I'd say : primered, matte paint finish, loud with megaphone pipes, engine-through-body design, de-badging ( other cars won't know what just flew by), subtle body mods and de-chroming. Here is a beautiful type4 powered 356...considered an outlaw to the 356 purists (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
