I have absolutely no idea how one would go about driving that without killing themselves.
I like it! (Agreed though, I’d paint it. Black, for preference.)
Notice that the photos were taken on what looks like a salt flat the size of Nevada. Nothing to hit in any direction.
Yeah, I think I'd spray it black too. Just like this one...

As for the handling they say....
....The End Result: Power and Handling
On the road, the Subaru-motivated 914 is nothing short of amazing. The stock 227 horsepower in the 3,000-pound WRX body was always more than respectable, but that same stock horsepower in a 2,200-pound, rear-wheel-drive 914 body transforms the Porsche into not just a sleeper to surprise cars on the street, but into a car perhaps even worthy of taking on a Lotus Elise at the track. Weight distribution is great with the mid-engine layout, and without the drivetrain loss felt by the Subaru all-wheel drive system, power transfers to the rear wheels with ease, allowing Dana to break the tires loose quite easily. Onlookers tend to have a dumbfounded look on their faces as they see a 33-year-old Porsche 914 outpacing a modified, last-generation Camaro up into highway speeds. Handling-wise, the upgrade to the Porsche 911 Bilstein suspension turns the already go-kart-like 914 into a super-handling machine that would even make Mario and Luigi proud. Point the car in a direction, and it goes without hesitation, or even remorse.
