I have never come across a 993RS before, as they were never exported to North America, and are fairly rare in any case.
For those of you who are far more expert than I am, here are some pics. He was very quick..I was doing around 130 MPH and he cruised right by. My question is: is this the real thing?...I assume it is: ( the badging was Carrera RS, not Carrera 2S, by the way).....any opinions welcomed.

As stated by the guys above. More than likely a 2S based on the vesuvius paint but not impossible for it to be a 4S.


Good photos for 130mph.

That's one nice looking car, reminds me why I bought one.

As above not an RS, retractable spoiler and wide bodied.

If you are doing 130mph does that mean the Omega ahead is also cruising at 130mph?
