Default Left a bucket o'drool all over my dealer's floor

Was by today to pick up some parts, in the prep lane was their first RS4.0, white, red/silver trim, absolutely speechless.

Nothing like 500 normally aspirated horses to take your breath away. I was truly awed. Looked exactly like the Porsche webspecial site. Carbon seat shells, red belts, red fabric pulls on interior doors, a bit of alcantara....WOW.

Interesting that this is still the GT1 derived block, not the new 997 DFI block.



Want. It. Badly.

The day the lottery folks call me, maybe.

Happy with the Turbo Cab, but this did get my attention.

Needs them, doesn't it? I'll suggest that to the proud new owner next time I see him.

With no offense, aluminum spoilers like on GT3RS series, decals and colored wheels etc etc belongs on a Honda not on a Porsche

For me, GT2RS is the ultimate Porsche to go for
