What's your favorite RS model (pre GT3)

[rajineravichandran]

Love that old interior just something nice that these cars nowadays don’t have

Great video, my dad also has one of these. Ironically my dad's car is also one of the 6 examples with rear seats. He bought it in 2004 when I was born so I could ride in the back. However I do prefer our spec because it's finished in speed yellow with the aero package. I have driven the car a couple of times now and everything you said is true. My dad used to own a 964 RS which was noticeably more hardcore in every way. I still prefer the 993 because it is a bit more civilized especially on longer drives while retaining the 'RS' character.

993 is by far my favourite generation of the 911. It’s just stunning.

Hi Ted. Enjoyed your review. I have a 993 RS which I've owned for 20 years and done many miles in all over Europe. They are utter superb. I driven and owned many other great cars, older and newer, but the RS is the one I will never sell. It's perfect!
I disagree with you on the suspension: it works extremely well on track (esp the Nurburgring which of course is rather bumpy!). You didn't work the brakes very hard and I can report they are epic, with superb feel and fade proof - the best of any car I have driven.
I agree on the steering weight with the airbag wheel. This is fixed simply by fitting the Clubsport wheel which is 1 inch smaller diameter, thus less leverage thus more weight. Feel are weighting are only bettered by a Lotus Elise in my view.
In my biased view, this is one of the best super-sports cars ever made. I've done nearly 50k miles in mine and still find it totally absorbing and satisfying to drive.

Were you able to verify via VIN that this is indeed an RS? There are so many things on this car that indicate not an RS, even your feedback on the driving experience doesn't line up. This car seems more like a standard carrera with some mods (notably a lightweight flywheel). Not trying to accuse anyone of anything, just wondering as a 993 enthusiast and very long time owner.

👍👍😎🇺🇸 It just sings. Pure mechanical sound. Addicting. I never got air cooled, until I rode in one. Thats a real drivers car.

[I.LikeCars]

Beautiful car! Agreed on the keyfob being somewhat "low quality", lol. Most of us 993 owners revert our keys to the fobs they used on the 964.

964RS feels like a 964 C2 drank a Redbull, whereas the delta between the 993RS and non-Rennsport variant(s) is so much more significant. And having driven both a 964RS and 993RS back-to-back, my opinion is the driving experience of the 993 is vastly superior.

I got to drive a friend’s 993 C4S on track. I was so amazed at how good the brakes were and how easy it was to steer with the throttle. The Porsches of this era were superb.

Wow I'm kind of surprised this car comes from over here but it's so rare I shouldn't be surprised in fact. CL-xxx-XX tells me it was probably sold around 10 years ago when we changed the license plate format. 95 ile de France is the Northern area of Paris (but that doesn't mean anything as we can put any region tag wherever we live ..). The 993 really is a special car I think, last air-cooled, 90's icon, it had a spot next to the Lambo Diablo poster ahah

[thebabysmoke]

Damn what a beautiful car... a timeless beauty ❤

[raptor_boss]

I drive one of these in Gran Turismo 7 (with a couple upgrades) and I absolutely LOVE how it drives in the game! I wish I could see one personally!

[nateisright]

Best body shell, best doors of the entire line.
993 and 964 are legendary.

[alechall]

It's so cool to see you drive these cars on the roads I'm on every day.
If you're up on the north shore at all, I have suggestions for some fun roads in the woods.

[Driftyi]

What a car, the intake noise noticeably changes when the varioram does it thing, quite noticeable compared to the 964 intake noise

[VladiDusil]

Curious to see the standard 993 steering wheel on this car over the regular three-spoke RS wheel. Gorgeous piece of kit!

[superprogrammer]

Is there a car that BONDGROUP does not have at this point? 🤔😄

[FellipeRodrigues]

"a clown in a corolla" i know exactly

It’s got the heavier front seats, regular back seats, electric windows and AC, even the steering is regular 993 affair interesting spec! This must be a much more heavier car
