As a matter of fact, my 1996 car has the later 1st gear shaft, fixed under warranty for a previous owner. The first owner of my car was PCNA, so it "may" have seen a few drag race starts by Hurley Haywood.
Steve, have you ever disassembled a really early build 993TT? There is a rumor that the really early TTs were assembled with some left-over racing connecting rods, and were quite nice. My car, being a 3/95 build, may qualify, but I've never heard those rumors substantiated.

AFAIK,...all the 993 motors (N/A & TT) use the OEM rods. I've never seen RSR rods used in ANY street engines.
And,.....FWIW,.......I do not use the RSR rods in any motor that will be pushed. I use Pauter Engineering rods or Carrillo 's, only.

Virtually every Porsche (and others) professional engine builder here in the US uses aftermarket rods in any race engine which will see high RPM and has 100 HP/per litre or more.
Factory rods although OK, are just not in the same league,...
Bill:
A lightweight flywheel/clutch setup allows your motor to spool up faster and really improves the throttle response. Plus, the RS flywheel is much more durable than the stock dual-mass unit.

For the benefit of those novices like me I found it interesting that the Porsche dealership (at least mine) said they are not allowed to install anything other than standard OEM parts. They can't even do an alignment to a race setup, only the factory settings. Too bad we don't have ViperBob II on the right coast. Ever thought of expanding Bob?? lol

All kidding aside, Glen is actually 100 % correct: The RS settings are already in their alignment computer and away they go. No arguments from our local dealership and my car felt like it lost 100 pounds, so improved was the steering response.
