Evan,

Why you post these pics on Roadfly but not here....









Looks like the owner converted to US spec! No CS cage, GT3 seats......and also orange sidemarkers!

Probably just a C2 with GT3RS aesthetics...

Yeah, it looks like Porsche Babes cab is getting hot and heavy with that RS!!! :-)

edit: The RS may have been brought in for track use only and will not be licensed for road use...If so, no US conversion required. It's definatley an RS though...no C2 there...

You could just import it as a piece of furniture. If the dock and/or customs people see that it's a car, just say it's for racing, display, or just non-public road use. And if you wanted to drive it on the street, you could buy a standard GT3, take the VIN plates and license plate off of it and stick them on the RS, then sell the GT3 to an enthusiast who only wants to track it.

Or, you could register the car in Andorra:
"You will get the Andorra plates, then bring it over to USA for a period of 6 months. As the six months period is approaching its end(or is it a year - cannot recall; may be a year), drive it over the border to Mexico or Canada for a day, then drive it back to USA so that the one year time starts all over again.

You will have to pick-up the car somewhere in Europe, and personally show up in Andorra to register it. You may also have to buy insurance there as well, because I do not think US based insurance companies will insure a foreign plated car in USA.

In addition, you will also have to drive the car back to Andorra at the end of the year (and show up personally) to re-register it again. That should not be huge problem if you have a bit of cash - shipping cars to EU is not all that expensive.

Normally, you have to be a resident (living there for longer than 6 months) of a country to be able to register cars in such countries, but Andorra is an exception. You do not have to reside there to do that.

In case you don't know where Andorra is, buy an Atlas!"

In the end, the easiest thing to do would be to convert a US GT3 into a GT3RS.

Well who ever has the GT3RS put on the U.S. amber side markers, so it just might be a conversion that is legal in the U.S.
