Default Quick question about 993RS.
Is 993RS based on the regular Carrera body or the wide TURBO body?

Thanks.

Thanks for that,,,I have a few mates who own 993 cup cars so regularly get to see them....I am sitting 20 feet away from an unmodified 993 CS and it has different features to the one in their photo, which has features I have come to know of the cup cars.

A cup car and a RS CS have the same body work and look identical. The interior is much different though as the cup car has no carpets, etc.

Clubsports don't have carpets either....... very few subtle differences on the outside distinguish the two cars.

For some reason I thought the RS was a 3.8L? Or was this an option on the RS?

Actually no, GT2 started out as wide body (and then got even wider! ).
