A pleasant surprise to see the Mr Frankels 993RS article reprinted in this months archive section, pages 58/9.
I remember reading this previously and since having driven more 993 RS miles the conclusion makes more sense than ever.
After having owned and driven older lightweight 911's, I remember the anticipation of my first 993RS drive, it did not exactly blow me away,
I thought perhaps the car was not on song or it was me?....was this emperors new clothes?..etc....
The conclusion sums it up very well for me, although the 993RS may not absolutely excel at anything in particular, you will find cars with better 0-60, bhp/kg etc....it is hard to think of another car that covers all the bases so well, that literally gets under your skin. Not something you even considered was likely to happen after your initial drive.
Mr F called it about right on values, but for whatever reason, pretty much moved on at the low. I recall his yellow car being up for sale in autotrader (of all places for an RS), I was keen, but someone else on here got there before me.
PiersR, have you seen this previously?....the article should make your day mate! [
