Nope, I love these cars but that ask was, let's just say, a bit over the top....

Todd, very nice. Details and photos a must...

Yes this is the replacement for the stolen one. It's bone stock, still has the under tray, I'm going to keep it pretty much the same, looks like a truck with the stock springs, so hr lowering springs, maybe the leather PP recaro's and put these seats in storage, and call it a day. I really miss driving these things.

The stolen car is being resurrected, has a new top, cage and lightweight doors hood and tail. It will be a GTS4/ST3 car...(with a plate) should be fun....pics coming soon

Nathan, yep yours is one of the red cars I've been drooling over since considering this one. Question: your reflector is soooo deep ruby red, did you do Gus's kit by chance? Looks awesome, mines pink...

Ed to be fair I'm not disclosing the price but I would never pay the astronomical prices that some stick on these things, they can be found priced reasonably and fairly. I would say an RSA is going to cost about 30% more than an equally nice 964 coupe, in the real world...for some collector one in a bottle is worth what someone would pay...all bets off. Hagartys valuations are very close to the mark for condition IMHO....

Yes, Gus' kit works wonders! I never liked the rear lights even with brand new parts, just too pink. The kit makes them just right in my book.

Change out the suspension and keep the OE in a box for the collector. Mine has the 964 cup setup at RS -10mm. Looks perfect...

All OEM parts bought in 1996. Not sure if it's all still available or who carries it.

I put a factory cup/monoball setup on my first RSA racecar build. It had big shaft fully threaded struts with main/tender springs. It was a bit much for the street. I had custom valved Bilstein HDs and H/R reds on the street track RS it was a nice setup. I would really consider the PSS9/10s a nice step in terms of an engineered package with adjustability. And if you want to go heavier, swift racing springs fit, giving you endless possibilities for setup. Next step is moton/jrz and that gets silly fast...
