There were 5 options offered: Sunroof, AC, Radio, LSD and Metallic Paint. I agree with many posters that having a fully optioned RSA makes little sense as it gets eerily close to a regular C2.

As it relates to the use of the term "sunroof delete" IMO it should only be used in the case of a car where you actually had to "delete" the sunroof. So for example on US delivered 964 coupes the sunroof was STANDARD equipment (this was not the case in other ROW markets) so if you wanted a C2 or C4 coupe it had to be ordered without a sunroof, hence a sunroof delete. On the RSA the sunroof was always an option, so the correct term for an RSA, ROW 964 coupe, etc that doesn't have a sunroof is "Non-sunroof Coupe". Ultimately the nomenclature doesn't matter, the market currently loves G-body and newer (356 and early 911 still are worth MORE with a sunroof due to relative rarity) cars that do NOT have a sunroof.

Great information, thanks.
