you better buy it....it's going to be gone shortly at that price. That's about 140USD for a PTS orange RS.....with only 5500 miles on it.

Clearly you don't drive fast enough! And you need a hearing test. LOL

Let's just say for collection purposes better to leave everything stock. Just saying. U be a much happier camper when u do sell. Those painting this and that is cosmetic. I would forgo all that. Trust me. Mike

drive faster and find windy roads, you will feel the difference in gearing, that' s worth $20,000.
the bigger rear end...

Not aware of there is factory orange for a gen2 RS. Not a big fan of orange with red.

Crazy color contrast, but easily fixed. Sounds like a good price too if everything checks out and CPO is given.

I am not a fan of the red stickers and wheels but to me it looks like they work very well on this car.

It's a PTS (paint to sample) car...ie original owner paid Porsche a premium (I think it was $6,000 in Canada) to have this colour.

I had a .2 GT3, I thought at the time when I bought the car that the RS will be too precious to track and the price delta of $40k can be used to make the GT3 a track monster. However, it didn't take me long to realize that I wanted a RS after all and I rather track/drive a stock RS than a modified GT3. Good thing I actually made money on the GT3 sale after I bought a .2RS; and of course my RS didn't stay stock very long...

Gearing and downforce/rear stability are the reason I sold my .1GT3 for .2RS.

Like I said...it has more shove. Not a lot of chances to explore downforce on the roads around here.

I do track occasionally though.

I spoke to a Pfaff tech about this car a while back. Owner money shifted and broke the crank. It'll be interesting to see if the car can be CPO'ed since the DME will likely have a massive over-rev recorded on it even though it has a new engine.
