I have a feeling we are in a bubble right now. I feel sorry for the person that pays that much money for a car like that after the bubble bursts. Then again I really don't.

I'm amazed at RS America prices. 100% not worth the premium. Nothing against the guys that have them...it's just not an upgrade from a C2.

I get the premium if you can find a garage queen museum quality mint perfect as found on the showroom floor car, cuz honestly in the 964 community of guys that buy cars to drive the pants off them, mint collector 964's in general are hard to come by...but I would never be the one to buy a 964 and not drive the pants off it...so that's not my game...

Gimmie a good 25-30k 964 that needs to be driven and maintained any day...if prices for c4's go 100+, I'll be selling immediately. Cuz there are plenty of fun things I could have for a lot less and with a lot less worry.

Nah, you guys have forgotten the seam welding and crinkled underhood paint.

Kai, are the RS Americas seam welded? I thought only the carerra RS, cup cars and the few American cups that came over were the only seam welded cars...

I know you were joking abt the other stuff...but I'm honest abt the seam weld question just out of curiosity since I didn't know...or were you kidding there too...

I feel lucky because I got the USA cup 6 months ago for the same price.
