Lightbulb RS and RSR

I hope this doesn't make me seem like I don't know my Porsches as I should but I guess it's something that I've never been told. What I don't know is what RS and RSR stand for as i was at the GTP race this past weekend at Nuerburgring and noticed lots of them. All i know is that it's a sought after car because it being an RS or RSR(a Porsche for the pure driving experience)

An RS can be described as a "lightened" model in very loose terms. It has very little sound deadening materials and has some racing parts installed. It might also have a cage installed by the factory.

An RSR is a full blown race car. It is built to a specific series standard weight, displacement and safety requirements.

And I think RSR is simply Renn Sport Racing.

Has anyone had any experience importing a RS Clubsport from Europe to the U.S.? I'd only be using it for the track. Thanks!
