A bit too subtle for me...

One more wing on the wing's wing should get it done. I really like the color.

That kind of redneck mods were understandable when 964's were still 20K cars.

You know, many of you I doubt would heckle and shame owners who have turned their cars into RSRs or GT2 or GT2 Evo appearing cars. These are simply that taken up a notch.

Don't be so judgemental. To each their own but God knows there are FAR more of these cars than needed in static "collections" and I would rather see owners making them their own and driving them than not.

^ Not wide enough. Track width should exceed wheelbase.

Do any of these RWBs have real functioning aero? They look like one off kits most of the time. Do they really do aero testing with the kits. Doubt it...
Not only do the cars look awful in my opinion, with huge wings and aero pieces attached in random spots. They're probably sketch to drive at speed.

both good choices: coupes, both manual, both with lsd and with about 50k miles on the odo separating them.

let's see what those miles are worth

I know cabs lag coupes but does anyone have a feel for what the top dollar on a 95 Carrera cab would be? Came super close to buying one yesterday ... 95, midnight blue, 49k miles, 6 speed, 17" Cups, heated seats, mechanically literally as good as they get (car did not have a single rattle, drove like a new one), cosmetically had a new top, original paint but some of the typical paint chip rash on the hood. Made an offer but I think someone snatched it at asking.

Recently, a '95 C-4 black Cabriolet sold for $75,000.00. I also saw a '98 Carrera Cabriolet, Arena Red sell for $80,000.00. Both cars were 6 speed and both were in good condition. Neither car had heated seats which is a rare option as are 8 way power seats, passenger and driver side. I agree, Cabriolet's ride tightly, and rattle free, especially with the convertible top down. You get a really enjoyable feeling riding with the convertible top down. In addition to good mechanicals and good physical condition, try to find a Cabriolet with the convertible top cover and wind deflector. Porsche made only 601 Cabriolet's.
Both cars sold on Pcarmarket. I can't find the links to the cars, but I'm sure that I posted both on our site.
I hope that I was helpful.

I found the links:

Midnight blue, less than 50k, good provenance (i.e., 2 owners or less with great documents) - I'd say as high as 75-80k... Plus I do think cabs just sell better in the summer ( that's why you buy them in dead of winter!)
