Hi
I was looking over Nick Moss' website and sore the lime green RSR he was recreating.
http://www.early911.co.uk/html/2_8-rsr-replica.html
I was thinking of getting a 997GT3 which would involve selling my 993TT. However I really like the 1970's pork and realised that I could get a RS/R replica for the difference need to get the GT3 But I have a lot of questions so I'll fire them away at you;
How much does the one in the link above cost and does that include the donor car?
Do these cars run on Unleaded?
Upon starting a journey what are the chances of actually finishing it?
Mot, Tax and insurance where does one stand?
How long does it take to make one? under 3months? (I have an event in mind)
Security? How do you stop some one from stealing it?
Now for the tricky part. Forget laps times and 10ths of seconds if you were to compare one of those rsr replicas to a modern GT3 which gives the driver the biggest grin I'm talking purely driver reward and theatrics. In my worse nightmare the replica would lack poke, sloppy steering, ropey gear box and needing constant fiddling to get it running. What I'm hoping for is a 911 go kart, sharp turn in, sprightly, big grin factor and theatre something where I can hone my driving skills.
Nick I have seen on the forum you take a 993rs to the track, why is this?
Lastly and please don't lynch me I wouldn't mind a few creature comforts to make the car liveable such as;
Windows that roll down
AC (possible?)
CD player for those long road trips
Xenon's (can't live with out them now)
Cigarette lighter for power
Carpets
930 Brakes
Would these be possible? I'm all for modern improvements batteries etc to make the car easier to live with.
In regards to price I could spend 40 to 45 however one can get a 964rs for 35ish and everyone tells me replicas aren't a sound investment. So is it madness or not?
Thanks
