[attachment 581] Would this be an outlaw? Narrow body but very clean v8 engine transplant. Dave Absolutely! Is that the only thing different from stock on your car? I would think that additions made to the car that aren't just a stock upgrade but enhance performance without degrading other aspects of the car qualify as outlaw. If the engine took handling or braking performance away from stock, that would not add to the overall balance of the car- I think that's the difference. If your changes add to the performance and keep the car balanced as much as possible, that would be an outlaw. Show us what else you've done to the car that helps the V8 work better in that platform. Great looking car too- a V8 sleeper is a great surprise to alot of people I'm sure! |

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 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. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Sounds like a lawyers definition (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) [/quote] No lawyers here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Just a poor attempt to riff on the outlaw theme. |

I would argue that to be an outlaw, you cannot appeal to everyone. The car must be different and not follow traditional customization trends. A customized car is not necessarily a outlaw; it's custom or hot rodded or sleeper. I never decided my car was an outlaw, someone else coined it.
If a typical 911 owner likes your car, it most likely is not an outlaw... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) This car is on the fence. In a word, it's awesome! but it's borderline outlaw. This car just appeals to the masses, with the exception of the chop top. Feed back has shown that not everyone likes the chopped roof line. Without the chop, it's just a GT clone that is well done.

Outlaw 914s include horrible FG kits and 911 want to be mods. To me, an outlaw is building out your dream and somehow not ending up with a piece of crap.

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. 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) |

Of course, not all non-stock mirrors are outlaw-ish. Some are just dorky! |
