Beautiful.

That front wheel clearance is tight.

Say you get it, then what? To roll up and down the road? Subject of conversation in a parking lot on a Saturday morning? Most laughable is track use. When my faux RS was commissioned by the previous owner, a real RS was almost the same total cost. But would have been slower.

Great there are collectors trading these things around. Glad I'm nowhere near flush enough to worry about whether I'm participating.

Engine bay seems so spacious. I guess without AC and other stuff, there's a lot of room in a 993 engine bay?

Makes the 993 cupcar for sale on pca site a relative bargain. Although cup car can't be driven to cars and coffee.

Speed Yellow yum!

@Ken, the heart wants what the heart wants... clearly (someone) buying for rarity and pedigree, not modern performance or 993 track value

The national news this week was all a flutter over Marilyn Monroe's 90th birthday, so to each their own...

Watching that car on a spirited drive is riveting. I'd love to have the chance to take that car down a few lanes, and a few laps at the track. You don't have to be the fastest car on the track to enjoy tracking a car. Sometimes the slower momentum cars can be even more thrilling.
