IMO, his argument is that the 964 shouldn’t be turned into something it’s not, not that it shouldn’t or can’t be improved upon. The Workshop 5001 car improves upon it and doesn’t turn it into something it’s not, like the Singers do. The Singers are great cars, works of art, but they have their own follies and foibles.

The only 964s worth driving are the RS America and Carrera RS. The Carrera RS is too stiff, stock, for broken SoCal pavement, though.

Negative points for Barghest colorway.

IMO, it’s not a great build because of the skill of execution, it’s a great build because of the devotion to the theme. Most cars wander a bit, struggle to live within their supposed theme.

I prefer the headlights and grille of the Type S, but wish the front bumper had more painted area rather than a floating lower bar. I also think the grille of the Type S is incredibly stupid-looking, looking like a stretched-out elastic bed net.

The flares of the Type R are preferable. The Type S flares look bolt-on, which is a bad design choice.

I prefer the side profile of the Type S, although I’m not a fan of the roofline resolution of either.

The rear of the Type S is less boy-racer; I don’t like wings on street cars unless it’s something over-the-top like an early '00s D1GP replica. But the license plate position and overall cleanliness of the Type R’s rear would make a wing delete worthwhile.

The CTR with a rear wing delete and the springs/dampers from a Type S would be preferable if I had to take one or the other, but honestly, I’d rather build an EJ Civic “Type R.”

It needs polish. Right now, it’s a formulaic and lacks both depth and enthusiasm. I clicked on the other posts and they’re similar. The changes in font from copying/pasting are jarring.

Not much science in your “science from cool car to crowd killer” post. Your proofing needs work, your understanding of vehicle subsystems needs work.
