The Speedster is slow and cumbersome compared to an RS...and yes I have driven both...and indeed owned a 964 RS. The 964 RS is close to being the quintessential 911...the 964 Speedster is...well...really just another 964. I love driving the speedster - amazing seating position and unique perspective with the low screen and clamshell etc. RS’s are a bit faster (esp on a track) but also less comfortable. Totally different focus - apples and oranges. Comparisons (esp speed) are always problematic - my 2.8 911ST tarmac rally car would eat my old 400hp 930 on a twisty road. However, put those cars on a runway and the 930 romps away. Dalai and MFX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spare me Speedster is effectively an RS in different clothes. im sure the coupe is better on a track, but for me the speedster had such a sense of occasion, on the metro Sydney and metro fringe roads I drove it on. Now where is that time machine parked set to 2003-2005? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were two distinct incarnations of the air-cooled 911 Speedster. The first was the 1989 model year Speedster. Shown at the 1988 Frankfurt Motor Show beside the upcoming Carrera 4, the 1989 Speedster actually shared more in common with the 930 turbo than with the upcoming 964 generation 911s, causing it to be looked upon, in retrospect, as a much inferior "driver's car" to the later 1994 Speedster. More than three quarters (641) of the 800 built had the "Turbo look" wide-body option.[10] The 1994 Porsche 911 Speedster was available either in standard or lightweight trim called “clubsport." Unlike the 1989 model, the 1994 Speedster was based on the new Carrera 2 platform and was not initially available with the "Turbo look" wide-body style. The 1994 Speedster was designed to be a more focused "driver's car" and served as a hybrid between a 964 Carrera 2 Cabriolet and a 964 RS. While it featured a softer suspension set up than the 964 RS, it offered almost none of the comforts of a normal 964 Carrera 2 Cabriolet, though power windows were standard and it was available with air conditioning and a stereo. Porsche planned to build 3000 examples of the 1994 Speedsters in 1992, but only 936 examples were built and sold during the two years of production. Once again, the United States was the most important market with 427 Speedsters heading Stateside. Right hand drive versions were exceptionally rare this time: only 27 cars compared to 139 examples in right hand drive of the pre-964 911 Speedster. Of these LHD cars 13 were made with UK specification, 7 Australia specification, 4 Singapore specification and either 3 or 4 Hong Kong Specification. Of these LHD there were 6 Speed yellow, 6 Guards Red, 2 Grey, 2 Black, 1 Slate grey, 1 Amazon Green (the only 964 Speedster in this colour), 1 Metallic Silver, 1 Polar Silver, 1 Grand Prix White and one Maritime Blue. In addition, 20 special examples were finished at Porsche Exclusive's workshop at Werk 1 (Factory 1) with the optional “Turbo look” wide-bod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedminor Posted 27March, 2022 Report Share Posted 27March, 2022 I’m referring to the 964 Speedster here (93-4) , and the car I drove was one of the 7 Aussie cars….. Funny I always thought there were 6. I remember one black car with yellow belts sitting unsold at Rushcutters Bay for close to a year. Not referring to the last of the g series cars from 1988/9 justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedster is no where near RS spec: heavier, motor less HP and torque, different suspension set up. Doesn't sound like RS spec to me. But hey, what do I know?

KGB Posted 28March, 2022 Report Share Posted 28March, 2022 Gents, Can anyone recall the last 964C2 Manual Coupe, Oz delivered, to have changed hands, and at what price? I heard tales of an off market sale but I struggle with believing the figure quoted, at well over $300k...but in this state of craziness, who knows. Talking about really good cars, not Singer donors.

Andy73 Posted 29March, 2022 Report Share Posted 29March, 2022 My understanding is that any car being sourced for Singer undergoes a reasonably stringent vetting process. In spite of the fact that they basically gut it, still needs to be excellent. In particular can't have any signs of crash etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
