This somewhat mysterious modified Porsche is occasionally nasty, always temperamental, and entirely lovable.
I'm using both"hot rod" and"outlaw" here because there's no official agreed-upon definition for either when it comes to Porsches."Outlaw" originally applied to modified 356s and was, but in between, they were simply called hot rod 911s. Some outlaws are primarily visual modifications, while others have mechanical upgrades. This one has both.
Uncertainty surrounds this car's spec sheet. Recently acquired by Tomini Classics in Dubai, the exact work done to it is unclear. We know it's been lowered, but the shocks are of unknown provenance. It came with a full roll cage that's been removed temporarily for accessibility. The hood is fiberglass, and the Momo Prototipo steering wheel is authentic.
No doubt lending some softness are the balloon tires with their massive sidewalls. Fresh off the transporter, the car wears mismatched summer touring tires, Fuldas in the front and Kumhos in the back. Neither befits a Porsche 911 like this if you're serious about going fast, but as configured, it makes the car far more interesting. The low weight, powerful engine, and cornball tires conspire to make the 911 slidey and loose yet controllable.
The bad-tempered part is mostly the transmission. Supposedly, it's been rebuilt, but it needs another look. It doesn't care much for going into second gear, especially on a downshift, and will actively fight you if you try to put it in third.
