The car was delivered Wed evening with 596 miles. I immediately took it up to Santa Barbara to "finish" the break in, although I did not quite adhere to Porsche's RPM guidelines as I don't believe in doing that. For the most part kept it under 7000 (but who knows what went on during the first 596 miles? - dealership said no overrevs). The wheels need to be balanced after transport, and the oil will be changed this week.

It has ceramic brakes, lift, dynamic lights, sound plus, extended carbon package (which is just around the air vents, not on center console), PCM with extended nav, and sport chrono. From what I've learned on this forum, the SC is useless and I do find, aesthetically, it breaks up the clean lines of the dash....but overall I'm happy with the options. The car mostly has what I wanted and not all the bling I can do without. It also has clear bra over hood, bumper, front fender, mirrors. Belts and door pulls are red, which is not ideal...but I don't see myself changing this out any time soon. Black would be better, or possibly yellow to match calipers.

Interestingly, it turns out this is the green/red Scottsdale car some of you may be familiar with. There is a Rennlist thread from 2010 about how ugly the car was, and if you've seen the pics you will agree. I'm not sure I have the full story, but it sounds like the Scottsdale dealership ordered it that way and then found a buyer in Utah, on condition it be painted. This buyer apparently opted for black wheels but without decals or black contrasting colors on bumper, mirror, or wing. I was initially going to have the dealership that was selling the car on consignment in Utah do the black accents...but the longer I looked at the pics I was sent, and heeding good advice on this forum, I decided to leave it as is.

There are only 3 green .2 RSs that I've been able to come up with: the unsold Suncoast car, one in Dubai (i think), and now this one. Maybe there are more but those are the only 3 I've been able to find with the internet as my resource.

Not sure why, but I can start new threads but can't reply - anyone know why???

 

Hey Im in San Marcos in a red cab..ill honk like crazy when I see you.
and congrats

 

How is the ride on your trip to Santa Barbara. Was it to bumpy, meaning the ride to stiff? I test drove one for a short drive and thought it was not any tougher of a ride then my c2s (both being in the normal shock setting). Wondering if my perception was wrong.
Enjoy and I will honk at you too if I see you around with my jaw to the ground.

 

the green was my favorite color on the .1 RS. Great color choice!

 

I saw that one at Suncoast in person...absolutely amazing color! The ONLY mod I think your car needs is to color match the rear wing uprights to your wheels.

 

I think the green RS is great.

 

Fantastic, looks great!! My favorite color

 

Sweet, congrats, looks a bit naked without the decals. But very nice nonetheless.

 

Super cool! Congrats!

 

Congrats beautiful RS,great color

 

Congratulations on your new RS, I have a orange RS and live in Valley Center, send me your info and we'll get together for a drive or whatever.

 

Glad to know that I may be graced with a sighting here in North County SD

 

Beautiful car. Congrats! I thought it looked pretty good without the decals but then Suncoast popped in those pics and it really looks incredible with the decals. In any case, that thing is sick. Enjoy!

 

Legendary color. Congrats! Looks so clean without the graphics

 

Welcome to 6speed! Beautiful car!
