I like it. I have a Polar Silver 996TT. This looks a bit darker than Polar. What is the name of the color? Good luck. Roy

Yeah, it's an ice blue type thing. Can't remember the colour. I know Glacier Blue Metallic is actually a silver with a bluey tinge. I like the look of it, but not so sure about the non-standard wheels. 965s look tons better on the 3.6 split rims. About 1.5k aftermarket... Still, don't let it put you off. Here's one that I was considering in a post-Lotus Carlton scenario: www.performance2and4.co.uk/car1.htm Go on, LHD doesn't hurt and you'll have the power of a 996 GT2! Cheers Domster

ultra, nice car, seen that one on their site on my quest as well, good luck with it! Domster, nice spec, shame about the colour , still 450 horses behind you would probably mean that nobody would ever see it clear enough to tell that it was red anyway!!

Alternatively , rather paying 33K for standard 964, you could have an up to date 993 Bi-Turbo (lhd) for 4K more.... www.verybored.com/car/

Yeah, buy bosshog's 993. It does look absolutely stunning, and would be my first choice of car if budget was late 30s. Unfortunately, it's mid 20s unless I want to extend my vacation in Debtworld... In fact, buy my LHD Lotus Carlton, save yourself 20k, and I'll buy the 965 ;-) >> Edited by domster on Wednesday 30th January 09:36

I'm glad you like it, I was a bit worried that the lighter colour distracts from the aggressive body shape. Boss Hog, I would love to buy your car however, I have at an absolute max £35K and if honest would rather it was under that figure. So, if you fancy a bit of charity let me know and i'll come and see the car The colour is actually Horizon Blue. News Flash........ They have just taken delivery of a 1993 964RS Light Weight (23K miles) in Black I will also take it out on Friday, can't wait....

Write and tell us what it's like!!!! (and what they want for it...)

The colour is great - quite rare I would imagine (never seen one that colour) Give the car a really ni appearance. I actually like those alloys...

UV - make sure you give us a full run down of Turbo 2 vs RS - I am trying to wrestle with that decision myself! Cheers. Domster

Will do. Can't wait to get down there and see the cars. It's going to be one fun day. They are even picking me up from Birmingham International... On a side note how many of you guys live in or around London?

I'm in High Wycombe, not far from London. J4 of M40. Rgds Domster

I'm in virginia water, which is 2 miles from j13 M25.

I'm in Warfield nr Ascot, Berks.

( very pissed so excuse english...) I'm really hoping to buy one of the two cars tomorrow. In which case I will be looking for any excuse to go for a drive. So, I was wondering if any of you Porsche owners/potential owners fancied getting together one Sunday afternoon for a bit of fun. I would be more than happy to take fellow enthusiasts out in whatever car I end up buying. Hopefully someone with a GT2 will turn up...

Hi UV I'll turn up in the Lotus Carlton, if I can make it. I'd quite like you to take me out for a spin in whatever you get anyway, as both the 964RS and 965 T2 feature in my choice for 'next purchase' when the Lotus goes. Cheers Dom

No probs. I have just put down a deposit on the T2. I'll post details on the Test Drive thread.

Cheers, UV. Look forward to the write up. PS - You're brave putting the deposit down. Not because the car will be a munter - at that price and mileage it should be quite okay, but check it anyway - but in so much as you haven't driven the 964RS. A friend of mine *swears* by them, and much prefers them to the blown porkers. Apparently, they really are that good. Sadly, I have only driven a normal C2 964 so can't properly comment!

I did drive the RS (see Test Drive tread). I can understand why people do love them. I would ideally have one as a second car.

Hi UV - just read the report - fantastic. Will comment on that thread.

OK, arse. The 965 i'd taken this Friday off to see (buy) has sold. I had seen the car a few times, thought about it loads, posted a couple of times, board a few of you (read Domster) with my questions, and now its gone In my haste to find a good use of a rare day off work I found another J reg., 40K miles, RS suspension, sports exhaust... I'm going to Birmingham on Friday (from London) to buy it, or not as the case may be. The one thing I need to know before I go is.........(girlie question coming).........
