great color combo

 

Ah, I recognize these pictures. That car was on e*bay for around 160K. No options, if I remember correctly.

 

It's VIN XXX2216, March 3 expired eBay listing # 300201249417. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300201249417&ssPa geName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=020 .

 

nice RS!

 

Looks like poverty spec apart from sport chrono.

Got sport chrono on mine but not used it yet. Added because it looked nice and with all the other expensive goodies like PCCB's, leather, sat-nav, phone, Orange paint, etc it seemed daft not to.

 

Poverty spec?

A stop watch that no one uses, leather, navigation, telephone, etc. have absolutely nothing to do with the intrinsic value and spirit of "RS" Porsches.

 

That's the reason I dislike the RS. There are excuse for the RS to have a cheap interior (without leather, nice trims, decent audio system etc) and in real world the car JUST have the same performance as the GT3.

 

Leather, "nice trims", audio, etc. will not make the RS travel down a counrty lane or lap whatever track any faster. They will however, add weight. The RS is genetically a race car. Not a grand tourer. A lean and toned athlete!

 

The added weight is minimal and the driver makes the biggest difference to lap times. What the factory options sheet offers is the opportunity to spec the car for the individual usage, If you just want to do track days you spec the car accordingly If however you want to do track days and go touring the RS now offers a solution.

 

I have driven a 997 GT3 RS without air-con as the owner was paranoid about weight saving. No extras whatsoever. It was bloody horrible. Sweating bucket loads and I am sure the aircon adds so little wight and uses so little bhp that the driver comfort and concentration levels are improved sufficiently to cancel out the percieved benefits of not having air-con. Also seems that, in the UK anyway, non-air-con cars are far more difficult to sell on.

 

Great interior, not a fan of the ones with GPS navs etc... dont belong in 'RS IMHO.

 

Excellent RS!

 

Of course, the driver is critical and the weight is minimal. I am trying to convey that a blinged out RS is not as true to the car's nature as one without superfluous options.

 

IMO the 997 RS is already BLINGED OUT, it's just a marketing thing with that historic name. Nothing performace wise at all.
