This article was mentioned in another thread. I dug out my copy and scanned the article about this RS

Thanks Nick that was a real treat!
R Gruppe #259
73S 2.7RS Spec Sporto
87 951 (Under Repair)
Cool article.
It's interesting to see a 1988 journalist's take on a firm suspension (19/24 t-bars are firm?! -- check out that body roll in the pictures!) and 'curious' brakes. Half a second of hesitation on braking is a good reason to go through the system before you do any more driving.
But it's the lack of familiarity with the model that also gives the article a unique perspective. It's an outsider looking in at the RS world, which -- as these cars get rarer and more valuable -- we don't often see.
Here is another RS article from the same edition. Fanciers Guide
great article.....
Nick!
Due to computer problems [and it's acting up again] I had not been able to post in a while.
Appreciate your sharing this great info. I used to get every copy that I could find here in NCal. It was often difficult and I missed several issues. That magazine gave wonderful insight on the reality of owning/driving most of the more interesting cars we love [not just Porsches]. That particular article inspired me to seek out another RS at a time when I thought they had become unaffordable. It was worth it!
Thanks a bunch.

What drivers seat is in that car?? Looks interesting.
Nick. As always, great to see these old articles again. Thanks for taking the time to scan and post all of the article.
Best, Jens
ps. Here's a picture of Northern Vermont Porsches ;)
That loos like it has Hella "R" lights and a Scheel sports seat :)
Well, it does have the optional passenger sport seat! :cool:
