From an ad in Nov of 2010 for this particular 'Riviera Blue' RS at FCIG:

“This vehicle is a beautiful Used 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS and with only
53 miles on it, it's tough to tell from new. This Porsche 911 comes in a
gorgeous aqua blue metallic color and gets 22 miles to the gallon. Visit us
at Foreign Cars Italia Greensboro in Greensboro to sit behind the wheel!”


It's all 'unintelligible, unfamiliar & indeed foreign' to some of the folks at Foreign Cars Italia in Greensboro!

Matt, are you keeping your recently acquired Cayman R or did you trade it as part of this purchase? If so, your parting words on the Cayman R.

Saludos,
Eduardo

That Cayman R looks like the one I bought new from Leith and traded in later. I miss that car.

Yeah, I traded it in w about 2G miles on it. Saw it back a few months ago, thought about getting it back and then BAM it was gone! I mean, how good is the handling on that car, it's just great.

I think I traded it in on the GT2 or maybe the 991s (and I shouldn't have), but didn't bond with those and ended up with a GT3 regular.

As you know the good stuff seldom even makes their website and sometimes doesn't sit 24 hours. Nice business model!
