1993 Porsche 911 RS America

(TT, Please Add to My Registry)

I got this back in September, but haven't had time to take some photos. It doesn't seem like that time will come until at least spring...so, here's a few photos from my garage.

1993 RS America (think of it as a sugar-free version of the true Euro RS)
Euro H4 headlight conversion with 4300k HID
B&B Triflow exhaust, dual tip conversion
Autothority chip
Autothority MAS
Autothority intake
Eibach coilover suspension
Fikse forged FM10
Halon fire extinguisher
993 "Big Red" front brake conversion

All that came with the car, thanks to the prior owner (except the headlights and HID, which I did)...so it was turn-key for me. I love the car, it's absolutely spectacular! So responsive, it feels like the steering wheel is connected directly to the tires...amazing. I only wish the US version was more like the Euro version with a slightly higher horsepower rating, and the rest of the lightweight modifications. However, I am still very happy that I have this car. More "proper" pictures to come, when I have an opportunity:

[Pehtren]

How many HP does it have? 8)

[gucom]

WOW nice car :D :D :D IIRC you talked about buying this car last summer...it's amazing, more pics, and stories plz!

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

Such a great car, and congratulations for having very good taste with cars. In fact I adore the car so much that the 964 is my favourite 911 shape; furthermore, the RS alongside the 964 Turbo, are some of my favourite five supercars among the F40, the McLaren F1 and the first 911 turbo

[gis]

Very sweet car,the rims are very very nice,more pictures would be nice,and possibly some videos? :wink:

congrats on the ride :D

[5vz-fe]

[pzgren]

[taygunho]

congrats StanAE86. 911 Rs is very good car. Have a good time...

[No.1]

thats mindblowing!

I love the look of the older 911s!

The spoiler is just huge and the rims look great too.

I can't believe you waited until now to tell us all - we want more pics/driving impressions and maybe a vid? :P

[ARMAN]

HOLY SHIT :shock: What kind of excuse is that you didnt have the pics??? :mrgreen: Vids pleeeeeeeeeeeeez :P

[StanAE86]

Thanks for all the great compliments!

Pehtren: The power on the 3.6L motor is 249. The car weighs in at just a smudge under 3000 lbs. It is a surprising fast 249hp. I was able to take my friend's 2000 BMW M Roadster without any problems, even after he got the jump on me. I suspect it would be a different story with the S54 motor'd brute though. Still, the 911 is quite fast, even by todays standards and I would have no problems trying to run against about 90% of the modern cars I see.

TT: Unfortunately, before getting this car, I had to let my beloved M5 go. :( I did reserve the first right of refusal, so before the owner can sell the car, SHE has to let me try to buy it back first. So maybe, when things are right, I can own it again. It was an awesome ride and I miss it, but I don't regret giving it up for the 911. So, for now, it is the S4 and the 911 for me. I would gladly have given up the S4 to keep the M5...but my work sometimes requires me to travel into the snow...and Quattro makes it much easier to deal with.

Thanks again for all the compliments! I'll have more pictures and hopefully video to come. As a side note, there was a professional photographer who advertised for volunteers with their cars, so he could expand his portfolio. My friend and I responded (ae86_16v) So, hopefully, when those are done, I will have some great photos to share with everyone.

totally offtopic, you have an EXCELLENT taste in cars :wink:

I saw a beautiful silver 964 C4 a week or so ago. Gave a big thumbs up to him. It was stock and a real minter 8)

If I could afford or justify two cars, I'd have something like a Golf TDI for work and a 993 or 964 for the weekends.

911 is actually quite practical for a dog owner, as the rear seats flip up or come out so the dogs could go back there and I'd not worry they would damage the seats! :oops:

I remember you spoke about this car and hinted at it's arrival way back when - great buy.

A true "hands on" euro car ;) - sounds like you are really enjoying it.

[crayzayjay]

Superb... i'm very envious :D

[callen]

awesome car stan! everything that has been upgraded has been done tastfully and to improve on the looks of the car. the wheels are great, and the calipers stand out just like on the more modern porsches, giving it a more modern look IMO.. which is good :wink:

[st-anger]

congrats, always nice to see another fellow owner :P

enjoy the ride and drive safe :)

[stmoritzer]

Congratulation to your new ride, IMO the car looks great, I like the wheels :D

HAve fun!
