RSR replica...

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly are the cosmetic and engine changes to produce a "respectable" RS clone? I dig the looks, and am trying to get my head around the body mods and suspension mods that are involved.

And any thoughts on the best base platform?

All opinions welcome.

RS? Or RSR (as in your subject?)

Thanks for pointing that out. Sorry, sticky fingers.

RS.

An RS Replica can be as simple as adding SC flares to an early car, or as complicated as building a period correct MFI 2.7 liter motor, and adding actual RS flares, a factory ducktail, welded reinforcements to the chassis, period-correct sport options, and, of course, the Carrera RS graphics.



Here are links to pictures of the last two years' R Gruppe meetings in Cambria, where you'll see a lot of RS clones (and other cool 911 variants).

Everytime I see images from that Cambria gatering I get the urge to throw on a duck tail deck lid!

Awesome pictures!
