Was originally in search of a 7.2 RS about 5-6 years ago but ended up buying its current garage mate instead. Now, I fortunately have both. Picked it up today. Many thanks again to John Wright and Porsche North Houston for a pleasant buying experience.

Just beautiful! On the top of my list of acquisitions after I solve my garage space problem. That is, if they don’t run away above $500k in the meantime.

Thanks Mooty. I pretty much had my mind made up when I saw it, but your input certainly didn't hurt!

What else to say but fantastic! Easy car to drive, clutch is light, steering is precise. Ricardo trans is just superb, although I have a short shifter kit which I think I'll switch back to stock at some point. Have had it for about 7 years and all that's it's required is tires, routine fluids and replacing a MAF sensor. Best sounding V8, IMO and still turns heads and attracts crowds (good or bad depending on your point of view). This car will be with me forever. Just been searching for a forever garage mate for it. Hoping the RS will fit the bill.

I need to re-think my garage space problem. Quality > quantity.
