R-Gruppe is just a performance hot-rodded early 911...a group dreamed up by one guy and 'membership' into the group by some super secret handshake or something... My boss (a bit of an outlaw himself) got into the R-Gruppe with a Euro-spec '73 911 S. When he introduced himself at a group meeting he explained "I learned to paint cars really fast because I was raised by a band of gypsies and they needed to change colors on the hot cars before the cops could figure it out." Crickets. Turd in punch bowl. |

I think I'm suffering from double vision with Naro's double post..but I have to agree with Bob and others ; let's keep our 914world group here non-secret handshake, non-attitude, non-nose in the air. If you need to be an outlaw there is a well known site where you can buy a $5.00 packet of outlaw stickers+patches.
Most of us here are renaissance craftsmen/craftswomen that express our cars in many ways. That is the nature of the rolling art that we drive, our own expressions. We already have an awesome 914world badge, but if someone here wants to design and offer badges for different genres of the 914 builds, I'd say go for it ! Marty |

If I'm not mistaken the start of the tread says "show us your rides" but all we're mostly getting is opinions on what "outlaw" means. Since defining outlaw will be subjective, how about some pics. Here's my 3.2 sleeper as we used to say when building hot rods. Is this and outlaw??? I'm sure some will say no and some say yes so how about showing your cars.

Mike D and I came up with a name at Bruce's swap meet………. We would do it in the same font as the R Gruppe guys, but we're the " F Truppe !!!! "
Somehow, it needs to have a human hand in there somewhere too, flipping the bird. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) |

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. Crap....now I'm maybe not a sleeper but an outlaw again? I just don't know.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Not stock: Rear fenders cut and stretched 2 inches Cowl vents deleted Side markers deleted Antenna deleted Hood badge deleted Windshield sprayers deleted Radio, air controls and ashtray deleted Perfectly beautiful car!!!! Great job! Backdated bumpers 911 front suspension and brakes 911 Carrera 3.2 motor GT inspired interior 16x8 & 16x7" wheels Did I mention the LE spoiler? That makes the car pretty much priceless. Countlesss other little mods but still looks VERY tame to the casual observer. |

A nice decal / shield of some sort with something like 'E Gruppe' (just to quote a suggestion), or 'M Gruppe' as in 'Mittelmotor' or 'modded / modified / modifiziert'. That will give it some real look and feel. But please, please, NOT with the use of the old German fonts. I prefer early 70s fonts! Menno (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I love it Menno! Sehr gut!!! |
