My RS has one of the least options out there (no lift, no radio, no sport chrono) so in my eyes the most desirable RS. It would be the last car I would ever sell. Like eztrader said .. It's irreplaceable. The 4.0 is an expensive unicorn and is unobtainium for mere mortals. Yes the 3.8 RS will hit 200K and no I am not selling mine even at that price.

After Picasso's Women of Algiers sold today in auction for $160MM after 11 minutes only, establishing a new record, anything is possible...

And there are at least three other 911's I would buy before I even think of a 993 in the air cooled era. I cannot think of any other car I would buy in the water pumper era before a 997.2.

Yeah, that was really crazy, I cannot even afford its frame.

Ummm, those have already hit $200k+ and are basically heading towards $250k.

Even though my 1 of 1 PTS .2RS unicorn has been retired from track duty I will continue to drive the car.

Congrats on owning a unicorn. One of the original ideas with Rennsport was to have as little as possible inside the car. Not everyone will appricoate it now but when we get back to this thread in 20 years you'll be the winner. Less is more in RS world! I'm lucky to own your spec but a 4.0! And it's not going anywhere.

The PTS that USCTrojan currently has parked in his garage but that will belong to me one day is violet.

I'm just about to turn 63k miles and my RS continues to thrill and bring smiles all day! Granted, I bought mine with 59k miles but was not afraid of that!
