Default 2008 RS Green/Black

Hello gents,

Finally found a 3.8L that I like so decided to put my 3.6L for sale. Car currently has 13,600 miles. CPO'ed till 2013, 100k miles. Previous owner installed factory half cage in and I recently installed an RSS pipes (thinking of switching back to stock exhaust tho). Everything else is stock except clear bra. Option list is here, http://www.gt3rsregistry.com/2008GT3RS/vin/2146.htm

Haven't had time to take a good pictures lately but someone took a video of her when I went to a local car meet few weeks ago.
Will take pictures later in the week.

Looking to get around $95k. Hopefully, someone will buy it before the car I want is gone. If someone bought the 3.8L before Greenie is sold, I will decide to keep it, FYI. No paint work, clean carfax.

Cheers,
K

A year too late for me....

If this was around when I got my GT3, this would have made me open up my wallet. Green RS (without decals) FTW!

Good luck with the sale!

James, that would have been awesome if you picked up the green RS, BUT face it, your white GT3 is killer!

Well, it's not that simple. Porsche has a name for the color they developed for that .1 RS model - it's call 'RS Green'. Has more 'blue' than 'Signal Green' (which has more yellow in it) and perhaps closer in looks to the old 'Viper' hue. Saludos, z356 (Carmel)

^ I knew you would know for sure.

It seems to be a rampant misconception that the color is viper or signal green. Do you know if it actually said RS green on the window sticker or anywhere else?

The order color code was J5 (perhaps shown on window sticker) and the official color code was 2D8. The latter would be the 'colour code' I would expect to see in the inside of the gas cap on a 2007/2008 RS Green gt3 RS. However, I don't know for sure because I don't have one. On my PTS 2007 'Signal Green' 997.1 S, the 'colour code' said W25. Saludos, z356

Yup, inside of the gas cap says 2D8.



Took her out on a drive today and it was a blast! As much as I would love to own the new 3.8, I'm a bit unsure every time I'm behind the wheel of this car. Thanks for the PMs and emails. PPIs at any dealers or favorite shops are welcome. Here are few iPhone pictures from earlier today.

Just curious, is that the RSS x-pipe you have equipped and if so what are your opinions on it, and why are you considering going back to stock?
