                    My 95' RS2 was built in the summer/fall of 94, and I must have been 21 when they started making the major parts for it and had turned 22 when it was ready to ship from Porsche.
                    I remember reading about the RS2 for the first time in the winter of 1995, while living in Salt Lake City, Utah (93-01). That was an article in a German magazine. I had no special interest in cars a that time, but it sure made a huge impression since my parents had just gotten an 80 Avant, so the RS2 was the nutcase version of the same car. I distinctly remember the number 400 from the article. Not sure if that referred to the torque, or if the car in that article could have been a 400hp tuner car, possibly the Digi-Tec one. The journalist described acceleration as absolutely insane, and I knew right then that I had to have an RS2 at one point in time. Spool forwards 11 years to 2006 and that point in time had arrived.
                    I will never sell it. Will likely get a 911 at some point in time, but that will be to compliment the RS2. A 993 C4 would be nice, since the RS2 was sort of a hybrid between that and the 80 Avant. Since I have the RS2 and the 80 Avant, I only need the 993 to make the family complete.
                    Honestly can't think of any other car that I would have replaced it with. None of the newer RS models has nearly the same effect on me, although the B5 RS4 is very nice. The RS2 is the legendary original. Impeccable pedigree. Massive presence to those who know it, but still anonymous to those who don't know what it is.

                      I was between 4 and 5 when my quattro rolled out of Ingolstadt in 1989.
                      When i was a kid i was determined not to walk, i only migrated from superior wheel drive when i was about 20 months. Ive been destined to own a quattro ever since!
