Seems to have all the right stuff. You should buy it either way
BTW, your avatar does your car injustice due to the droop on the front bumper. Did you ever get a chance to change the grill?
Beautiful car in a gorgeous color. Glad to see an enthusiast own it .

Thats is a real Turbo S, however the picture is photoshoped. That car is Yellow and was used for most of the press photos.

this is the original photo.



There are at least 2 Blue 968 Turbos, but both are midnight blue.

Dang o well, I would settle for Speed Yellow.

Raj, I do have a new grill installed as well as a bat wing since that photo. I'll have to find a new pic for my avatar.

WPOZZZ96ZNS820065 = early '92 MY US model normal non turbo 6sp with options M220 LSD and M403 17" Cup I wheels. Its actually 5th US coupe made. If doesn't have correct engine and gearbox type in PET to be turbo. I know ZZZ VIN makes it look like its ROW model but thats just similar VIN what is stamped to all US model 968. 2 as 13th digit tells its US coupe. WP0AA2966NS820065 would be more familiar US VIN for it. If factory did use it as basis for first Turbo RS it is very likely it started life as normal street car and was later coverted. Though it doesn't make much sense to me for them to do that when they could have just taken fresh body of the shelve.

Three other RS have VIN's which make sense and were very likely build directly as RS.
