Photo from yesterday's coffee run on the Sea-to-Sky hwy between Vancouver and Whistler.
I acquired this RS in January of this year from Oakville Porsche. Possibly the highest mileage RS on the planet with 50k km on the clock, but zero overrevs any range and the DME made sense in light of engine hours. PPI was A+. That combined with CPO and price being the same as importing a regular GT3 from the US in light of exchange rates made for an "easy" decision
Stripper, but should be able to "suffer along" without a leather dash, heh heh.
To date:
The first weekend, we took her bum off and installed a used Sharkwerks bypass and tips (thanks Alan!!)
Polished by a pro (amazing results) to remove all fine swirls/scratches (gray black is beautiful, but not at all forgiving to the eye like silver).
Xpel Ultimate applied to entire front end - great product!
custom installed Antilaser Priority radar system.
I haven't put that many km on her yet, but everything positive said about this car is true!! Tactile, precise, otherworldly noises including the Ducati-like rattle at idle, spools up VERY quickly.
In reading some threads, I expected the suspension to be jarring around town. After the 993tt, I find it much more compliant - taut but not at all hard. Perhaps a case of "time to take a concrete pill and harden the hell up!!" for the delicate folks LOL!
Looking forward to a track day next month - that will hopefully toughen ME up a bit in the skills dept!
Thanks to everyone on here who got me addicted to the crack cocaine of Mezger magic.
Cheers,
Mark

The orange and green RS are one day going to be worth $1 million. They get more and more beautiful the older they get. I'm so stupid to have passed on the RS because of the small up charge ��
