Porsche 935, Drugs and Le Mans - The Story of The Whittington Brothers
In the high-octane world of motorsport, few stories are as captivating and controversial as that of the Whittington brothers. Known for their success on the racetrack, particularly with the iconic Porsche 935, they also had a tumultuous past intertwined with the dark underbelly of drug trafficking. The brothers, Don and Bill Whittington, emerged from the world of illegal drug trade to become notable figures in endurance racing, including the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans. Their journey is not just a tale of racing glory but also a dramatic narrative of risk, ambition, and redemption, showcasing how the thrill of speed often rides alongside the dangers of a life lived outside the law.

    The Evolution had double wishbones in the FRONT, not the back. The rear was a bespoke multi link that was developed specifically for the Evolution. The Evolution also had bigger brakes, longer suspension travel and a chassis that was 2X stiffer than stock. Shinozuka himself assisted with the chassis and suspension tuning.

    Amongst the modern generations, the 10th and 12th gens look the best because they have some sporty styling (like the svt raptor) into the truck outside while the 11th gen that's in-between is average. However, the 13th and 14th gens look awful with their commercial-oriented exteriors. I mean yes, the straight lines in the lights & sides, upright fenders and the squareness of the front do fit on a pickup truck but they try to emphasize on those too much they make the truck a bit ugly as a result. I'd give it a pass if they're for the 250 series and above which many guys would use as workhorses for towing or hauling after all. But the others today buy the 150 for lifestyle purposes that i think having some little streamlined design cues would be a good welcome.
