Really?

Read the posts after my response to politely explain the different bodies of the variants mentioned.

Consider RS man and myself have owned and driven most RS variants and our "knowledge" is based on real world, rather than internet derived experience.

Only trying to help and didn't feel particularly condescending with my response, do note the smiley, which I always understood, implied a certain jokey, tongue in cheek quality?

Perhaps a bit over-sensitive on my part for which I sincerely apologize.

I guess some of the tone here lately has taken its tole. There is a LOT of knowledge here.

Please note also that although I have never owned an RS/RSCS/GT2/GT2CS/RSR etc, I've seen many over the years, right from rolling off the line at the factory, in dealer showrooms when new (and untouched as of yet), to recent sightings/sittings of various cars. The subtle differences on many of these cars can be very intriguing.

Again, no offence to either Clubsport1 or RSman as your 1st hand knowledge of these cars is respected and appreciated.

Back to our regularly scheduled program.

Any pictures of the narrow-bodied RSR? I love the GT2 look and the dark-side of me wonders what my RUF BTR would look like with bolted-on flares...

Here is a real one:




And I'm sure you've seen RLer Thacher's RSR replica he built a few years back:



I think this is a cool way to go "widebody" on a NB without any frankenstien widebody panel welding...

HMMMMMMMMMMMM
i wonder who owns the yellow RS tribute car now?
Seems like a very well done project.

RS man

That car is very well built.

Here they are side by side. These cars are from the collection of David MacNeil of WeatherTech. He has good taste.

I'm a little bit confused. It appears to me that the GT2 is based on a WB(?), but has the front end (single opening) of a NB?

Dan-- Lots of subtleties re: these cars' similarities & differences. Hope this shallow overview helps about their front ends:

993 front spoilers are typically interchangeable between NB or WB. Similar concept: visualize how the same is usually true for a rear spoiler, especially putting a WB on a NB (not the rear bumper; the wing over the deck lid): a Turbo tail can be put on a NB. (Obviously, a flat tail from a NB cannot fit on a car with an intercooler that conflicts by taking up space, but that is a vertical limitation; not due to width requirements.)

If you haven't seen the "PCA PARADE 2014 PICTURE THREAD - GT2, RS," click there for more examples of an acquaintance's cars.
He conveniently labeled them for easy ID & then parked 'em next to each other for comparison

The front end of the GT2 and the RSCS are the same. The only difference is the front wings/fenders that have the lower bits to meet the WB sides.

And if you are curious how to make a GT2 EVO out of a NB car, check out my project photos:

Here's a RSR build that was just finished by a friend. Super nice car!!

OMG that's pure sex

OK, the 993 RSR is flares on a narrow 993 and the GT2 is flares on a wide 993.

This implies wider tires can go on a GT2 than an RSR?

Correct?

Juha G

Correct!
Also the flares are different size; smaller on the RSR, wider on the GT2.
And then there is the GT2 EVO with even wider flares.
I can fit 14" wide slicks in the rear of my car...
