Why Outlaw?

I don't know, I feel funny to a certain extent in stating or proclaiming that my car is Outlaw style. But lets break the whole Outlaw thing down first. Outlaws are different and are not an "elite" status to me and the only way I have identified an Outlaw car is if they state that. It seems to me that Outlaw usually tends to focus on Porsches of all things... insert rolling eyes here. It also seems to be a less publicized trend or direction and seems to follow a more underground vibe, maybe thats because many people don't own Porsches. On an interesting note though, if you type in Outlaw into www.thesamba.com in their gallery search some interesting things come up. Ok well... looks like I found a lot more definition for what Outlaws are. They seem to almost be exclusively Porsches.... great. Any way they seem to focus on some key ideas but then again this is loosely stated.

DT: Just what is a outlaw 356? what makes it a outlaw?

MP: Bigger/modified engine
lowered/modified suspension
typically non stock paint color
typically non stock wheels
typically non stock interior
sometimes deleted bumpers, possibly nerf bars

I always think of a 356 hotrod…

GL: Usually not a stock or "period performance", but all out performance.

DT: so just about anything that the good Doctor didn't put on or take off when they were built makes them an outlaw.[Via TheSamba.com] So ok
Modified engine (check)
Lowered modified suspension (check) Non stock paint color (not stock for USDM Ghia's to my understanding, no German brocures showing paint availability) (check) Non stock wheels (Porsche 2.0l Fuchs (check))
Non stock interior (Got some goodies on the way hopefully (check)(check)
Deleted bumpers? (removed bumper guards for blades (check)
That seems to be the gist of it and it seems that they only thing that would sperate me is the fact that its not a Porsche... However it is also true that Karmann Ghias were called Whore's Porsche in that they were cheaper then a Porsche but looked similar. So I guess thats another thing going for it.

That's probably the thing I love most about the Outlaw 356. A vintage car that is actually fun to drive. One that takes advantage of more modern components to build that old meets new vibe I talked about initially. By the way, Gary and Family are still at it today. Check out EmoryMotorSports.com to see their work, some cool video and lots of Outlaw 356 pictures.
Their base idea though is to make them more fun and enjoyable to a certain extent, to be used, and to be driven. The result... art

This article pretty much nails it right here

Outlaws in general are clean. The car doesnt have perfect paint by any means which lends itself to a hoodride take.
Now on to some pictures, Im bored.
