RS America Cheap
Well here we go, (Again) I have had this car for about 8 years now and its time to let her go. . I purchased it with 63,000 I have only put 15,000 miles on since purchase. In that time I have spent about $30,000 on modifications. My philosophy was simple; use only Porsche parts or OEM suppliers, to build as close as possible a Euro RS. What Porsche did to the Carrera RS, I did to my RS America. To those means I based all modifications on Porsche’s publication “guide to converting Carreras to cup cars”.
Modifications: Interior: Recarro RS Tri- color seats Black, grey, dark grey. Recarro sliders Sabelt harness DAS RS roll bar Power coated red Carrera RS Rear carpet Suspension: I obtained the factory NOS RS Billstein coil over suspension from one of the Carrera cup cars, from the canceled Carrera Cup USA. These were cup cars imported, then converted to street cars when the series was canceled. Parts alone $5,000. Front and rear RS sway bars Brakes: Front RS two-piece rotors with Aluminum hats Rear RS drilled rotors Backing plates removed Brake proportioning valve removed Carbon fiber brake ducts Wheels: Look close those are Factory 8x17 and 9.5x17 “Cup Car” wheels, $4,000 If you can find them, Michelin sport pilot cup tires front 20 miles rear 2000 miles, that’s another $1,000 Exhaust: Cup bypass pipe Drive train: Cup clutch and fly wheel, about 6000 miles ago Autothority RS chip with idle stabilizer valve. Drilled air-box with K&N air filter Carbon fiber hood The best part is that it has just (less than 1000 miles) had a performance oriented top end rebuild. The heads have been completely rebuilt, with new intake and exhaust valves; new valve guides new springs and titanium retainers, the timing chain ramps were also replaced. The distributor belt was also replaced. This is an ideal car as daily driver, and a weekend track car. Or as a PCA club racer. It has seen track time; it would be a waste if it hadn’t. I am a PCA drivers Ed instructor, and it was used for that purpose. I have never raced it, and never over revved it, or had any off-road excursions. I am selling because I purchasing A very special vintage Porsche Contact Robert rbtabbott@aol.com 410-672-7576 Price $36,000 Last edited by super90; 08-21-2008 at 02:20 PM. |

Thanks to those who responded, I've decided to keep her. This is just such a pure sports car. I would regret the sale as soon as it was done. I've driven many latter Porsches, and I always feel so underwhelmed. To me this car marked the end of an era at Porsche.
Yes, this time I'm really going to sell it. Last edited by super90; 07-18-2008 at 12:06 PM. |

Not to hijack this thread; but www.atspeedmotorsports.com has a black RS America that went into the laces at the Glen but didn't quite make it out with lots of parts for sale.
