The Singer is so beautiful I don't even know what to say. If I was ever in the market for a Porsche this would be it.

Despite the overdone tire width, I like that Singer (no relation to the orignal Singer sports cars, I presume). Hmmm, maybe they'll come out w/a retro 914-6?

A 914 with a 993 turbo motor would be terrifyingly good. Unfortunately guys with the money for cars like this don't tend to be into the 914.

There's something a little bit off about the lines of the Singer that makes it look more like a dune buggy than a RSR. I know their intent was not to make an RSR replica, but even still, I think a SLIGHTLY more OEM approach would benefit the car.

And it needs to be Viper Green with a ducktail.

^ LOL, Any of the wild 1970s 911 colors would work, Viper Green, Continental Orange, Mexico Blue, Gulf Blue. Those cars make me droll just thinking about them.

The wheels (especially the rear wheel dish) and tires are too big on the Singer, that along with the angle the photo the pic was shot at makes it look like a dune buggy. But, I kinda like it.
