There are some beautiful cars on here.

Thanks, I want one so badly. May have to sell my 69 Benz.

 

those cars are soo sick ...the white with LM's and the black with HRE's are ubercool

 

I personally see zero desirability in these cars. They are nothing like the real euro 964 RS, the RSA is a true Porsche marketing gimmic IMHO.....I especially like how the "rear seat delete" actually weighs MORE than the jumpseats it replaces. With that said, there are some nice cars for sale on that site, but the asking prices are laughable when a standard 964 C2 in good condition can be had for the upper teens, low 20s.

 

What makes the RSA special?

 

It was limited edition and lighter than a regular C2.

 

Beautiful cars. Ive been thinking of getting a 964 as a daily driver. Maybe a C4 to use in winter as well. Do you now which years they were made and anything special to look for?

 

i would look for 92-94.I just bought on recently,with plans for a track car project.it sucks because its such a great daily driver.

 

The RSA debate has raged for years. I own a mint 94 model and have owned a 93 track car (Euro RS specs) and a 93 street car. No, they are not the same as the 964 RS (what an awesome car we missed).

I will tell you that they are fun to drive; quick (C & D tested 0-60 at 4.7 in 1992) and good drivers are quick on the track. An RSA with a cold air intake and Fabspeed sounds as good as any Porsche produced.

They are also low production and maintain and increase in value if you have a great example.

Amir to your statement, the cost to modify the 964 Carrera to RSA specs is expensive unless you do much of the work yourself. RSA's run in D stock in PCA. A high mileage track car candidate can be bought in the high 20's to low 30's.

Drive one that is set up correctly and then state your opinion. My guess is you'll feel differently.

 

I agree. Plus that whole site is full of cars that have been for sale FOREVER because they are asking WAY too much for them. And converting a regular C2 to RSA spec is not expensive at all, there are many threads on Rennlist about it.

 

i had plans to buy a RS america to build a D or E class club racer.But the price of admission on a stock RS was aprox.40k without upgrades.I ended up buying a 92 964 in the mid 15-20s. which gives me 20k to spend in upgrades
when all said and done i hope to have a very competive club racer for the price of a stock RS america.

 

LuvmyGT3- Buying a 964 and upgrading to race D can be a good move. There usually are 3-4 well-sorted RSA's (track cars) for sale ranging from low 30's to mid 40's. I usually recommend buying a good example a making improvements. I would not recommend a 964 for C stock unless you can really wheel a race car and are comfortable with the suspension.

Related to RSAmerica.net. The cars are not languishing for months unsold. Keith maintains the site as his hobby and updates it periodically. For the RSA nasayers, I cannot think of any Porsche that you can buy in the 30-40k range; have a great time with and sell and break-even or make a little money. I really suggest spending some time in one before making random assumptions.

 

Your on the right track! With 20k into the c2 you will be passing rsa's with ease

 

always wanted one, even back in 92-94 :0

 

That is a statement that is quite bold. C and D stock is quiet competitive. The 20k in mods will not give you a better suspension than a 993 or 996 setup correctly. I know quite a few RS America racers that would find this comment amusing.
