2010 rs
I have had a deposit on one of these for some time now, so I am really interested in what everyone thinks of this car. For me, this is the ultimate lightweight 911, and since I used to race with the 996 and 997 based RS models (now only do a little consulting) and won championships it has a special place for me. It is also a car that completes the Porsche history for me, since I go way back with restoring 356's and 550's, etc, 60 years later this is the last car produced by an "independent" Porsche.
I was a bit horrified when the order guide came out and I saw those color combos...settled on the grey/black/gold since that seemed the only option although I liked the Aqua Blue. I can't deal with red wheels (silver is an option, but you have to choose the red or gold accents no matter what) since that reminds me too much of boy racer wannabees, maybe I'm too harsh. I'd love to hear other opinions.
My friend Richard Lietz from Austria drove in the videos, he said they took out the best slides! Anyway, as far as I know you can't delete the graphics, and I won't mess with the car as delivered so I guess I'm stuck. This is probably the first and last new street car I will ever buy (bought enough new race cars from Weissach to last me). And the price I was quoted was $132,800 plus options so the VAT in Europe is quite stiff.
