- Thread starter carreraboy
- Start date
well a lot of folk have described their own cars - lucky you!! I think mine would be as follows.
Narrow body
big back wing
front splitter
BBS wheels (in gold) or mags (in black) cant decide
Full cage
car in speed yellow (in which case drop the bbs), or white.
Stripped interior, Recaros, but possibly a light carpet set in the back and on the sills
3.8 NA engine,. with 6speed box (but then a turbo for ultimate power might be nice, in which case stick with a 5speed)
Not as easy as first thought......I might have to come back to this one.

Maybe this ......
Signal Green 993RS CS --- but "only" LHD [

Agreed, fab.
But not as good as an N-GT. Imagine a car, designed to be so close to a cup car, but with a normal heater ?
Who leaned on whom at Porsche ?
Mine, which may be the earliest Vin at 9011, was sold to Ulrich Richter who had stopped racing for Porsche in 1983 and whom Porsche wanted to encourage back into the fold. So in November 1991 he bought my car new as a road car --- with bespoke ABS cut out "panic button" (probably for the Nurburgring), and in 1993 he rejoined Porsche. Unfortunately he was killed at the Nordeschleft in 1995 ? In a Porsche.

][]And Steve? I know exactly where you're coming from....
Think we need to add Cup Car ABS!!!!!
Yes mix of sh****d road tyres, too long out, red mist and forgetting that you can't do the late brake skip and dance with the very reactive 964RS race sensitive tuned ABS ......... all cleaned out now
Des, don't forget to add a yellow/orange flashing light to the roof. All gritters have them []

Any chance of giving us the low down on your car again bud? I remember the post you did the other year...your car is something else!

Mine was originally a RS 3.8 so widebody, clubsport (so one of 7 built apparently) hence full cage, with a light coating of leather on the interior to pretend it's civilised (hahaha), with the 3.8 N/A lump swapped for a Turbo Tecnic Pietz (Gemballa's engine boys I think) 993 Biturbo motor, feeding thru the standard RS 5 speed gives 450bhp, 550nm torque at 1 bar. No wings on it which makes it very "Q" but also a tad tricky at high velocities... does 0-60 in about 3, does 90 to 150mph in about 5 which to be honest is the really impressive bit. Accelerates all the way into the rev limiter in 5th apparently (I've run out of dangly ornaments at an indicated 180mph myself).
It's a superb spec, but I'd say it's prob a bit fierce to be perfect, you'd want to hang wings on it to track it as is, or swap the lumps back for road use. That said, it's very civilised off boost doing the school run, but you do leave 100m black lines if you should happen to be pottering up an incline and the turbos come in... I've an international race licence and I've done some scary stuff (LMP2 car flat thru Eau Rouge at the front of an Le Mans Series Post Pace Car restart, GT2 De Walt TVR thru Turn 8 at Istanbul in the wet etc) and the car remains "challenging"... hence my suggestion to Tim any more power than I am running requires some proper aero assistance!
Some great specs here... Think the key thing you all have to go for is the Speedlines... not claiming a wheel fetish but they are the one element of mine that REALLY makes me smile each time I lift the cover.
Cheers
Rick

The boy who owned the car and "mucked it around" or "created it" depending on your point of view was Herr Dr Ulrich Schumacher, who was the boss of Infineon until caught up in some debate over certain things that may or may not have been crooked... he had a 50 car collection which as I understand included mostly Porsche's including 2 * 964 RS, my RS 3.8 and 2 * RSR race cars that had been built from bits. My car was built by his favoured mechanic/ tuning shop and was actually given to one of the other players in the "discussion" that led to the Herr Doctor catching his marching orders as compensation for the rest of the board cancelling a contract with them which would appear to have been awarded for the "wrong reasons", so was intimately caught up in the whole Infineon scandal, hence the name seems to have stuck as it's easier than trying to describe it each time!
On the race side, yes, I've been very lucky with the drives over the years: was 5th in the UK Clio Cup in 2000, raced the mid-engined nutter Clio V6 in 2001 and 2002 in Europe including a top 10 at Monaco GP support. Did European 2 litre Clio's in 2003 until a season ending somersault at Estoril, 2004 I raced the Tracsport Lola in LMP2 to 3rd in the LMES Championship. 2005 I had a one-off invitation to race the last international appearance of the TVR De Walt GT2 car at Istanbul in the LMES. Then I raced the Aiello BTCC winning Primera in the Dutch Super Cars for a couple of years (and am racing it in both the David Leslie Memorial Trophy at the Silverstone Classic and up the hill at the Goodwood Festival of Speed if anyone is coming along to those this year?) and now I'm in my second season with a 350Z in the European FIA GT4 cup.
(Sorry if anyone dozed off!)
