Default 'And where did THAT come from?'

So I pulled into the shop where I take my C2S and as I'm pulling in I see this . . .



I'm thinking nice tribute car and as I get close I start to notice a few more details. One of the guys explains it came from the factory just as it sits, been in the shop a few times for a little work and get it tweaked before and after track days. I managed to snap a few picture and got to climb inside. Not sure exactly what it is - not a GT2, twin plug 3.8L is assume, not a clubsport. Also explained that if they need someone to give it shakedown before sending it off with the owner, I'm available.









Anyone know what the yellow light on the instrument panel is? By the way only 1850km and all the gauges suggest it was an import

Stunning. I would say that right there is an RSR. The yellow light is probably a shift light.


Here are a few pics of an RSR I looked at in 2008:

Other than the color, the details appear to be the same. What Andreas said.
