Would I still be a cheap cheat.

1, fine, it came out of the factory in Stuttgart, RS'es at one point started out on the same metal press as the "ordinary" 911's did.. same unibody , different finish.
So an RS replica to me is not a replica, but a clone... All Porsches in their heart have the RS spirit in them... maybe not the Pepper wagon, not sure on that one yet
They all do well when lightened, and made more dedicated to track or rally or whatever...
2, good luck trying, but it will still be replicrap to me
3, fine, it came out of the factor, steel is steel.. if you're comfortable with the chinese platesteel, and it fit's the car the way it supposed to fit.. eg, if it's the right thickness, shape and size for you to build that Porsche so it looks like a good restoration... why not.
