Is the 964RS the one and only true soUL child of the 2.7RS?

Sorry - I just can't agree with this. I know this has been discussed at length elsewhere on the forum - but the 993RS is very much a direct descendant.
If you take the origins of the 2.7RS and go back to the 'S', then 'R' etc, the lineage continues.
Why? The 2.7RS can be a banshee or a tourer with ease - the 993RS the same.
I sense a whole barrage of flames coming - bring it on [

Original 2.7RS the Icon when Porsche returned to basics then pandered to the US and not until model year 1992 did they return to basics....so what will 2012 bring us?

I know nothing about Piano's !
oh, the answer the question was "no", 993 RS all the way....
ps. rumour has it, that's why no car mag will test it against the 996 GT3 RS or 964 RS as they know it will spank the hell out of them and cause depression amongst half the Porsche 911 world !

That Evo test. Never could understand it. The 550 the best drivers car? Its a tank.
At one of this year's Goodwood outings, there was some pretty exotic machinery on view, including RSR's and a full race French 993RS. This latter beast tramped past me as if I was parked, and I was not hanging about. But what was the fastest car on the track that day?..........a little blue 964RS. The silent assassin.

'Rumour has it' in your house maybe [8D]
Rumour has it (in my house) that Des might be on the money. They are great little machines. If I had a 964RS I would do it in 2.7 RS livery, saw one once done like that and it was ace.
Yes John getting a second set of Cup 1 wheels painting them red and Carrera side script..........
