Farewell to an old friend. |

Twenty years ago, I was on my way to a friend's house and I happened to see a bright Yellow 964 in a neighbor's garage. The odd thing about this 964 was that it had a fixed whale tail rear spoiler. At that time, I thought all 964s (except the Turbo) had a small powered rear spoiler like a letter box that popped up at speed. I was intrigued, so I went to the front door, knocked, and talked to the owner. Initially, I didn't get a warm reception, but after several ongoing conversations, I found out the car was a limited edition 1993 model known as a 911 RS America. |

The importance of finding your father.
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 department at Porsche when the late eighties/early nineties fuel crisis meant sales were seriously down? or was it a reaction to Porsche getting away from their performance sportscar image and producing highly optioned luxury cruisers? There appear to be a growing number of “haters” who are of the opinion that the RS America is not a real RS at all. Maybe they would benefit from understanding where the car 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. |
