Standard 964 costs $10k less but they are less structurally rigid and weigh more, - but you can do what Martin has done and basically manufacture an RS from a 964 (although you can't manufacture a seem welded tub)
kary wrote:David, I think you might want to consider NOT buying a 964 or RSA. From everyone that I know who has tracked these cars (except Jack), they have spent quite a bit more money maintaining these cars as compared to a 993 for example. I know the cost of a good 993 is higher than an RSA but from my travels it seems less expesnive to run a 993 as compared to a 964 based car.
Any others care to share their opinons on this?

Jack, I agree with everything you say about the 964 and that is still my target, but I am having trouble finding one that has decent go-fast parts. It seems that people are more likely to do serious mods to RSA's (Martin being the exception). In any case, I have broadened my search; I spoke with a guy that runs a dealership in Houston (say it isnt so y'all) that has a "whole mess" of 964's. Definately a lot more logistical work (PPI, shipping, etc.) but if I cant find anything local, what can I do?
