Anyone know this car or its history?

Who cares, it's gorgeous. As long as it was well taken care of - wish the cage was still in it. It would look sweet with a matching painted cage.

Non track guy question. Why does someone decide to switch the standard rotors for slotted? Just that much track time and other rotors gone, so "upgrade"? If so, why not just buy new OEM rotors. Whats the advantage to the brembo slotted vs. OEM.

Stock rotors crack real quick. Slotted don't crack like the cross drilled ones.

What's this car really worth (besides whatever someone's willing to pay for it)?

Thinking of having a go at it, but wondering what it's true value is.

If I had the money and was in the market for one I'd pay $170k for it. That's just me though.

Thx for the opinion. That's kinda in the ballpark I'm thinking, too. I doubt it'll make sense, however as we CA dwellers get slammed on sales tax for full amount of transaction. That plus they'll probably offer precious for my trade: PTS black 2011 RS, 20k miles, pretty loaded; PCCB, leather, lift, , buckets, nav etc

What's the tax in CA? We in NY have to pay 8.875% on every sale. Doesn't matter new, used, or whatever. Talk about robbery.

Don't do it Vivian. I know I'm minority here. But I think your black RS looks so much better then blue!
