These are lovely looking cars, a bit of European influence, this early version of this body is the most attractive.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS at Petrol Lounge in N. Austin

Looking online for specs on this model, I found, perhaps, this very car for sale in HoustonĀ for $177k. The car in the ad was a 2007 model, 415 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque, claiming 0-60 in 4 seconds, propelling this 3200 lb car to 193 mph. This car was stored in Austin’s Petrol Lounge, where many amazing collector cars are coddled, fed and groomed, ready for their masters to beckon them to play. Notice the Ferrari F40 behind this Porsche (there were two F40s there that day).
