964ベースのカレラRSもどきホットロッド。
カレラRSクラブスポーツ仕様と、いったところだろうか。
この車のオーナーは、水冷ポルシェのオーナー。
白（ボディ）グレー（ストライプ）黒（ホイール）の
モノトーンな感じのカラーリングも良いですね。
このサイズが、日本の道路にはあってますよね。

1990年式964カレラ2サンルーフありをベースに、サンルーフなし加工、レカロフルバケ、ロールケージ、カレラRS用サスペンションなど、パフォーマンスパーツでモディファイした模様。軽量化もいろいろやってそうな雰囲気。

激安不人気のカレラ4ティプトロニック辺りをベースに、
RR化、カレラRSもどきを・・・（笑）
2ペダル→3ペダル・マニュアル化は、大変なのだろうか。
近年のGT3（RS）は、ボディ剛性のあるカレラ4ベースと聞くので逆にアリです。

性能重視の、ナロー73RSを作るのも面白いかもしれない。
（こだわりすぎる＆やりすぎるとSingerになるが）
964、930系新旧で、いろいろ流用できちゃうのが、ポルシェならではです。
Singerは964ベースで作っているので、964ベースが一番素性が良いと思われる。
やっぱり、964はヘッドライトが立っており、ポルシェらしいポルシェで良い。
全バラから時間を掛けて、コツコツ作りたいと思う、今日この頃であった。

What began as indifference quickly morphed into an obsession.

It also turned owner Alex Bermudez from a water-cooled Porsche driver into one who describes his 964-based “hot rod,” The Growler, as “unapologetically raw”—and just the thing for slaying tight mountain passes.

“For me, it’s just about the emotional experience,” Bermudez says. “The Growler is a pretty interesting blend. It’s not too raw, but when you want the feedback from a raw car, it gives it to you—and gives it to you in spades.”

From Trinidad and Tobago, cars weren’t exactly a focus. After all, Bermudez saw his first Porsche only after he’d moved to London! Two enthusiast owners before him spent a considerable amount of time and money making this 1990 964 go quickly, but Bermudez was intent on finishing the car.

Completing everything from grafting on a new sunroof-less roof to adding Recaro seats and roll cage, nothing has escaped attention. Its massaged motor, lighter weight, Carrera RS suspension, and other performance modifications have turned the car into a seriously impressive canyon carver.

“Because it’s so light, it has the speed and acceleration you’d typically find in the water-cooled cars, and yet, because it’s slightly older and has automatic steering taken out of it, it has really good steering feel,” he says. “The closer you get to the edge, it becomes more comfortable, because it’s telling you exactly what’s going on.”

Spending some weekends racing with the Porsche Owners Club has helped to teach Bermudez how to go fast, and most importantly, what he wants from a performance car.
