I agree! Plus it has cupholders and Rolls Royce engines.

...with ~2600 horse power, top speed ~700 mph, & a cost >$49M USD this jet literally cruises above outer space's boundary.
Yep, Bombardier's Global Express is an incredible machine.


Seriously very nice compliments, guys - thanks!
Never hurts when folks think our 993s make billionaires' jets look better...

Randy-- I've driven with Jim & his gorgeous 993; both of you have beautiful blue rarities
Humbling to get such compliments from you guys & others, back to when RL was yet to be the web's 993 Speedster showcase.
Thank you for your enthusiasm, & the fun flashback to 2009 ^^

'Jet' performance at a fraction of the cost ^^

The GT2 RS
Only 500 produced
620 HP
$245,000
The driver's fascination with 993s? Priceless...

He spoke the Speedster language fluently, & was flabbergasted by Speedy's rare Recaro Speedster bucket seats, asking how I found them.

...then I learn he's the proud father of two '89 Speedsters. I knew I liked him!

Speaking of twos, he enjoyed a nice pair of 993s



^^ Kudos to MagDaddy for the RL windshield sticker ^^

As the parking lot thinned out, I watched from a long way away as the GT2 RS pulled up next to Speedy, just to check her out.
When I finally walked over, he chatted intensely about my 993. I eventually gushed, "We should be talking about your ride!"

993s connect with people from across ages, races, & continents ... even those that aren't "car" people
...& those that obviously are, like the 997's owner:

Just received a RLer's question about Speedy's rear quarter panels.
They began as new OEM 993 Porsche Turbo steel quarter panels, with Porsche's OEM 993 Turbo S steel air ducts.
Here's a photo.

Good timing for the pic, as Monterey CA'S "Car Week" just ended.
A past McCall's Motorworks Revival by RLer EB847.
He plans to share another photo soon. Til then, thanks for the memories, EB!

THANK YOU!!!


Jager ~ I'll be dressed in pink, just like all the other survivors for the race. I am a very blessed and HAPPY gal!!!



BTW: the breakfast was delicious, if I may say so myself.
