I can truly appreciate his work but these huge front snow plow lips are a little ridiculous looking inmo. This one looks to have zero ground clearance?

There is a black one that I saw in Houston last Sunday night. I posted a pic from my phone in the POV.

They look incredibly inconvenient, however they're actually made from a very flexible rubber, giving it more functionality. If only the RS Cup lips were too....

These cars are the definition of all show, no go.

I don't think that is a very fair definition as they have definitely built many "go" vehicles. Mark's is a good example.

^Rauh Welt built that motor and setup the chassis? What tracks does it run on and what are the lap times?

POWERHOUSE has a reputation beyond repute

I guess the RWB 993 Turbo S in ME is all show no go too?

A dude on rennlist owns that car. Here is the build thread.
