Unusual on an M plate? M = 1994/5, 993 Gt2 came out in 1996,,,then again in 1998...it could have been a personal plate of course....or a 993 RS with RSR bodykit????

It was badged 911 GT if that helps. To my untrained eye it looked just like Vic's Tango Monster or Blue Beauty.

'Twas left hand drive - thanks to the driver for the cheery wave.

Doesn't sound familiar JC,,,,must be an interesting plate....I hope the Gt3 lived up to your expectations on the hoon,,surely better than your old car throo the twisties?

Could have been. What would be the visual differences between a 3.8 RSR and a GT2?

Have a look at piccys on Paul Mcleans site, www.gtclassics.co.uk at the top of the page is Paul's old yellow 993 RS, RSR conversion....Vics brace of Gt2 below it for comparison......the immediate visual clue is the full RSR front airdam, subtley different to the RSR body kit fitted to the clubsports,,,,not much to give it away from behind, especially if it had a "911 GT" badge fitted.

Give it time JC and we will get their with your Pork education mate

I'd swear it didn't have the RSR airdam, but rather the front of the GT2s.

It had red seats if that helps in identifying the car....

It wasn't Ronald McDonald driving was it????

[dazren]

The car had what looked like the proper grey GT2 alloys, riveted wheel arches etc.

We all got on the Eurotunnel, last year for SPA no prob, including ur car , sorry Mate people my age dont do ferries , so old i never know i ll get to the other side ...............burial at sea and all that!

Solve ur problem just buy the Audi rs blue , goes on almost anything ...................especially a cheque!

[sambaman]

would love to 'v' but im happy with the peril , its a gem, ive just got a mail back from the people doing the ring 700 and im going for it , im sure the car will be fine !! you not fancy it ???

[gt2-r]

Sambaman DO NOT attempt the ferry. Just came back from Austria with a 964 RS Clubsport and the front hit the exit ramp off the ferry.

Your car would have no chance. It definately goes on the tunnel because I did it last year with your car.

[sambaman]

I JUST SPOKE WITH THE GUYS ORGANISING THE EVENT , THEY RECKON IT WILL BUT THERE AGAIN I WOULD SAY THAT TOO FOR £700 ! LOL ......HE SEEMS TO THINK CARS WITH INCH AND HALF WILL GO ON BUT IM NOT WILLING TO RISK DAMAGING THE FRONT SPLITTER, WHAT A BUMMER HEY , I WAS JUST GOING TO BOOK ....DISSAPOINTED ..

[bergmeister]

THE YELLOW GT2 WAS PROBABLY A JERSEY CAR,LHD, IT IS M REG,WHICH IS CORRECT.ITS THE EX FACTORY OWNED PR GT2,THAT WAS USED FOR BROCHURES,PROMOS AND MOTOR SHOWS ETC.
THERE IS ALSO A 993RS THAT IS /WAS M REG,ITS A 1994 ALSO,AND RHD.
JUST LOOK AT THE REAR SPOILER,FOR RSR VS GT2.A CORRECT RSR SHOULD HAVE THE RS CLUBSPORT REAR SPOILER.

[Agent Orange]

Dont do the Ring moi ,Keith , come to Spa where GT2 S reign on the straights ..............cud p...u right off and even get aproper piece of kit .........................i shall now go and hide to avoid respnses !

[sambaman]

VICTORY 'V' .........what can i say , with me been only 25 and you getting on for 65 i may have bigger b**ls so the GT2 may have the edge but the rs's driver has bigger .....erm ?????? i'll have a think and come back to yah !!
