Mr Strosek himself with the Speedster version. Looks fantastic.

Err... "that's not for me". There, I was nice.

Am I the only person who doesn't 'get' all these restomods? Give me the real thing any day.

How much is a 964 Carrera 2 these days? (I know I'm not going to like the answer).

Edit: given this is a website with cars for sale I guess I should take a look... bit hard to say, but seems maybe £80k or so. I guess I'll go back to being appalled by prices of 205GTi's.

I like them but I do feel the whole ducktail/fuchs/green has been done to death now.

964, looks like a 964, but with a 9k engine and suspension etc to suit.

there is a 3.2 Strosek for sale for not that much, looks pretty cool, ok not superfast, its more like WTL carrera 3.2 but rare.

Mr Strosek himself with the Speedster version. Looks fantastic.

I like the rear bumper idea of that lowered part in the bumper, I guess to let air escape/flow? see a 964 Strosek Mega 2 example what I mean.
also those aero spoilers (forgot the name) at both sides of the numberplate ala Z1 or Hamann Z3

What’s with the flying pig decal, some sort of in-joke – eg, “When an air-cooled 911 doesn’t spin when you lift-off mid-corner, pigs will fly.”?

Be nice. Be nasty. It's of no import to me. I don't make the car.

Values and rarity are at a point now where it’s cheaper to use a 993 as a base.

[Muzzman]

I was offered a 993 RS Clubsport for £62k about 12 to 15 years ago. it's the only car i ever asked the missus for permission to buy and she said no :-( .

• * Funny how the mind works, i just looked at the message which was still in 911uk. It was £75k and it was in March 2011.

Not even close to the others mentioned

What's wrong with what Paul Stephens does? I've seen some of their cars and they look pretty good.

I'll see your 993RS Clubsport and raise you a 964RSL, RHD and 8000 miles which I viewed but decided against as I thought I needed rear seats for the kids. £32k. Oh for a crystal ball or time machine!

Interestingly, at the same dealer at the time was the ex-Nick Faldo 964 Turbo S, for £60k if memory serves.

Closest I got to buying a 993 RS was at a Ferrari main agent, where I saw a 993 RS 'Touring' advertised in the early 00's. I went for a view and drive but was underwhelmed- aside from the spoilers it felt just like a normal 993... "Ah, that's because it's a road-biased version sir". Unconvinced, I called Porsche and checked the chassis no, sure enough it was a normal 993 with a bodykit. Lots of red faces at the dealer when I told them why I'd not be proceeding.

Well it's going to HK so I guess so.

Christ, imagine if you pulled the trigger on that.

Looking though £75k in 2011 is £106k now, which i'm not sure would get you into any RS variety (although there is a 66k mile 997.1 in the classifieds)

Good shout. I think I’d prefer to keep it in the Uk so Tuthill and Theon would be getting a call.
