Default How often have you seen an RS on the street?

I was reflecting on this... (NOT at the track, at the dealer, or at a Porsche gathering).

I am now on my third RS and in nearly ten years, I have some across only one just driving on the road , and that was in Scottsdale AZ one morning. I drive a lot of road miles in multiple countries, and yet, never seems to see one. I have come across the occasional GT3, although still a rare sight.

Am I living in an RS wilderness or do others have the same experience??

Seen a 997.1 RS at my club I'd love to buy. Only RS I've seen in the wild. One other GT3, my buddies.

I see maybe 1 per week. There are way more ferraris (f12, Cali, 458) and lambos at this point

I drive my 997.2 RS frequently here in San Diego but still only see the occasional RS of any Gen even here where 911s are plentiful

Very jealous of some of you. I've seen one driving on MI streets. It was an orange 997.1 GT3RS.
