Looking for info on the Carrera Cup
Any information anyone might have on the '92 Carrera Cup USA Edition would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Scott |
Scott:
I own one and have a notebook of information. What exactly are you looking for? Jim Newman 92 US Carrera Cup 88 Rothmans Turbo Cup 99 996 |
You'll also find some good information in Volumes 9 and 10 of the Up-Fixin' series, reprinting technical articles from the PCA Panorama magazine.

Where can I find these? Jim |
Jim,
Volumes 9 and 10 are available from PCA (www.pca.org). The articles are: Vol 9: "Carrera Cup for America", Don Spaulding "Driving the Carrera Cup Car", Michael Cotton Vol. 10: "Lightweight Carrera Confusion", Bob Gagnon |
Hi Jim,
I am considering one and am looking for any information I can find. I looked through all of my reference books and cannot find much on the Carrera Cup model. Thanks, Bill. Scott |
This site has some good pic's and tables for comparative notes;

Thanks! I was looking at Gary's site yesterday and found out his had been sold some time ago.
Very good information. Scott |
Jim... just noticed in your signature that you have a 996 also. How do you like the differences in the 996 and Carrera Cup? I just sold my 996 a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks, Scott |
FYI, this is supposedly #1 of 45 964 cup cars. Local place wants $85k for it. They have a certificate of authenticity as #1.

Track down Feb 93 issue of Excellence for a seven page article on the US Cup Car.

Scott:
The are hard to compare. The 996 is a comfortable daily driver. The Cup Car is harsh and uncomfortable. I like the Cup car for the track. The steering is precise, the poerband is wide and with the old style suspension, it is a blast to throttle steer. I like them in different ways. Jim |
Scott:
I forgot, I know where one is for sale if you are interested. 7k miles and O think he wants $69,500. Jim |
Scott-
The serial number (last 4 digits of VIN) of the first American Cup Edition built was 0392. So check this to see if it really is #1. <img src="graemlins/yltype.gif" border="0" alt="[typing]" /> <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" /> |
Thanks for the link Jon!
