Nobody has chosen the Delete Air Conditioning option on the RS yet.
We Americans can't order 229 of these and not one with AC delete!

Unless someone does it, we'll never know the weight of the AC system.
I'll do it - for the greater good of the RennList community.
I just need an allocation!

Carrera GT

A/C is around 44lb complete.
Pulling the compressor alone is about 30lb.
Just try getting a dealer to order any 911 with a/c delete. Like pulling teeth.
And I wouldn't recommend it either.
Just get the A/C and (with consideration for the environment and green house gasses) have a reputable a/c shop evacuate the system, remove the fuses and the compressor then fit an appropriately shorter serpentine belt.
The other 10lbs will have to come off the car in terms of the spare tire most GT3 RS owners carry with them ... : )

The most interesting thing to learn about the first RS to be in Rennlister hands in the USA will be to release the roof liner and check the inside of the roof panel.

Check the inside of the roof panel for what? A phantom sunroof assembly?

Actually I thought about it until yesterday...and I thought if I really want it out, I'll do what Carrera GT stated.

I while ago, I was looking for an RS America.
Wanted one with no sunroof, no AC, no anything. Couldn't find one.
Apparently most were spec'ed with AC, sunroof, stereo, etc...
Looking back, it seems a shame that all those RS Americas were ordered fully loaded, doesn't it?

I ordered A/C delete on my RS. I would have done so on my GT2 as well if it were offered.

Check RSamerica .net and you will find them. There also seems to be a big mix between those cars for options and colors. My only surprise with them is there are so many without the LSD. There are many cars without any options at all that were built. They only had 4 options: A/C, stereo, sunroof and the LSD.

I think it is really retarded if you are buying an RS because of the weight reduction and you get it without PCCBs or the A/C delete.

no kiddin!
what a wuss!
hear i thought mj was a serious driver?

MJSpeed

OH! (Tony Soprano style)

Listen up fruitcake, make sure you close your sunroof next time out on the track...oh yeah turn off your radio and ac as well.

Alan Smithee

While I agree, and also think frivolous options like illuminated door sills and navigation systems are a sacrilege in such a car...to each his own.

MJSpeed

serious enough to actually have one on order...how about you?

workin on it!
i have ac phobia.
so really don't care if my car has ac except for resale.

MJSpeed

I completely agree except for the AC part...it's brutal in South Florida without one. I can assure of one thing, mine won't have a radio or speakers or amps or sound deading crap or the stock interior door panels or you get the picture...
