| Good day to an erstwhile friend. | |
| Twenty years ago, I was on my way to a friend'south house and I happened to see a vivid Yellow 964 in a neighbour'due south garage. The odd matter about this 964 was that information technology had a stock-still whale tail rear spoiler. At that fourth dimension, I idea all 964s (except the Turbo) had a small powered rear spoiler like a alphabetic character box that popped upwardly at speed. I was intrigued, and then I went to the front end door, knocked, and talked to the owner. Initially, I didn't get a warm reception, only after several ongoing conversations, I institute out the motorcar was a express edition 1993 model known every bit a 911 RS America. I kept in touch with the him and he agreed that if he ever decided to sell it he would contact me. So around nine months after I first saw the car, I became its third owner.

The importance of finding your begetter.
by: Keith V of CA.
| Loook ......... I am your father! | |
| There are several stories circulating about the origins of the RS America; was it just a marketing ploy by the cunning sales section at Porsche when the late eighties/early on nineties fuel crisis meant sales were seriously down? or was it a reaction to Porsche getting away from their performance sportscar paradigm and producing highly optioned luxury cruisers? At that place announced to be a growing number of "haters" who are of the stance that the RS America is not a existent RS at all. Maybe they would benefit from understanding where the machine came from and some of the limitations Porsche faced, causing them to bring the model to the US market in the form they did ....... but then again ........ maybe not. So whose idea was this car in the first place? Where did it come from? .... and why? To read an article answering these and other "origins of the RSA" questions ... .click on the epitome above. | |

Definitely Not your Father'south RS America
by: Keith 5 of CA and Bob W of IL
| At PCA Parade in Fort Worth TX in 2004 I noticed a black 964 in the parking construction that looked like an RSA with non-stock wheels and a non-stock whaletail. I also noticed that the auto had no "RS" side decals on its flanks and no "RS America" emblems on information technology's rear deck chapeau, even so from the Vin# - which I could see through the windshield, I was able to confirm that it was an RS America. Rear seats and the letter "R" as the tenth digit in the Vin# told me that it was a 1994 model. As the car had PCA Parade entrant numbers on it, I knew I could wait upwardly the owners name and PCA Region. |
| A closer expect at the custom wheels revealed that they were the lightweight 18" made past RUF, and that the car also had upgraded "big red" brakes. Every bit I walked away, I glanced back at the car and spotted a visual inkling that was so glaringly obvious that I was surprised that I hadn't noticed it before - now it all made sense .... I realized that I was looking at an extremely rare Porsche indeed. |
| The beginning clue ..... should've been the license plate .......! |
| The last affair that I noticed was the license plate ........... |
| Unfortunately, I never got to meet up with the owner of the machine in Fort Worth, and then all I knew after Parade '04, was that a fellow member of Chicago Region of PCA had an RS America that appeared to have been converted into RUF RCT. |

What Exactly ...?
by: Keith V of CA
| |
| In an unashamed attempt to get the give-and-take out about RS Americas, and to publicize both the RS America Registry and associated rsamerica.cyberspace web site, I submitted an article to the Porsche Lodge of Americas' Laurels winning National Newsletter - Porsche Panorama. |
| My rationale is that with a fiddling over 320 RSA owners already registry members, there must withal be a few owners who are unaware of its being, and too of this web site. Hopefully, this commodity volition enlighten them and perhaps inspire them to participate, plus it is a hazard to reach ex-RSA owners and hopefully get them to provide data on RSAs which are not in the registry database! |
| What does this mean to the current owner? Basically, if more noesis is spread nearly these cars, more than interest might be generated, and the market value may increase! |
| Realistically, the RSA may never achieve the legendary status of the 1973 2.7L Carrera RS, but all publicity is good publicity and an article such equally this only might help! |
