michel Posted 20September, 2014 Report Share Posted 20September, 2014 Was the S shell used by racer boys in cup series or other? Allowing ducting to brakes etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonoz Posted 20September, 2014 Report Share Posted 20September, 2014 Not that I can find. Very few if any 993 Turbos were raced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 21September, 2014 Report Share Posted 21September, 2014 The vents don't do anything. They are not ducted to the brakes or the intercooler. They are purely for aesthetics. Rare for Porsche to waste energy on something like this, pretty as they are. The 1980s straked slant nose called to say it disagrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 25September, 2014 Report Share Posted 25September, 2014 I think that's a good thing... car feels like it's going slowly when it's actually going fast? 80km/hr is pretty slow. Rumour is that at 250km/hr, it feels quite stable . Stable is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Man Posted 25September, 2014 Report Share Posted 25September, 2014 I think that's a good thing... car feels like it's going slowly when it's actually going fast? That's exactly what I understood. The car is so rock solid that it feels you are going slower than the actual speed. That's a good thing I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a lurgy right onto the drivers window of the 928 while in traffic. They won't be able to yell back, either, because your air-cooled clatter will drown them out.

Simonoz Posted 29September, 2014 Report Share Posted 29September, 2014 Noticed JZM Porsche in the UK have sold their midnight blue 993 RS Touring, for which they were asking £249,000 ($463,000). Their black 993 RSCS at £339,900 ($632,000) is still available. Big discrepancy in pricing given the Australian market doesn't price the two versions very differently at all.
