Well you do get to roll the windows down by a crank and open the doors with a nylon strap. And dont forget the extra 10 hp and most important the stickers!

Really? I thought of this example as 'high mileage" and about $10k too high. Maybe prices have shot up in the past 6 months. It does present well though.

I saw this one at Hershey. No Price, and a little molested. Wondering if he blew the motor at one point.

The cars were offered in standard colors red, black and white and optional colors midnight blue metallic and polar silver. Several paint to order cars were manufactured in speed yellow. The RS America featured a distinctive "whale tail" spoiler, a partially stripped interior with flat door panels (from the European RS) and carpeting along with a luggage shelf replacing the rear seats. Cloth covered sports seats, 17 inch wheels and M030 Sports Suspension were fitted as standard. The logo "RS America" was written on the deck lid along with an "RS" logo in front of the rear wheels. Deleted to save weight were power steering, cruise control, powered side mirrors, air-conditioning, sunroof and radio, although the air-conditioning, sunroof and radio as well as a limited slip differential could be ordered as options. The RS America was listed by Porsche as weighing 2,954 pounds (1,340 kg), 77 pounds (35 kg) lighter than the weight listed for a stock Carrera 2. The standard USA Carrera 2 brakes, engine and gearbox were used.

that all I'm sayin..whats all the fuss if you re add those weight saving options...Back on the car...seems silly to me

I have to agree with 964 heaven in some respects.

That said, it is a gorgeous car and you still get the whale tail and the seats!

The seller is a liar. NO MODIFICATIONS. I see many

Did RS Americas not have any tins or under-tray?

No they came with the standard 3.6, but w/o power steering which added a few HP. Note the window 'sticker' says zero hours. The 3.6 engine was bored out to a 3.8, which might mean he blew the engine before having it rebuilt.

Those pictures almost make me want to get the wing. Didn't factory RSA's have a primary bypass?

Also, if you happen to forget your driving a Porsche, the huge emblem on the steering wheel will remind you. So that helps.
