And is this an original GT2 in the back there? Oh and for inboost a Mazda there of some sort or another (RX7) - both of these cars have the drivers seat on the right side...

Another #if-you-know-you-know: Wait a minute … isn’t the RS America (the red one here) a 964 turbo?

dapellegrini, the 964 era of 911s lasted from 1989 (first Carrera 4 kicked off the series) and ran until 1993 with the delivery of the successor 993 platform. These were all traditionally sequential fuel injected 3.6L powerplant vehicles with the iconic twin-distributor / twin plug heads showing up for the first time in a production vehicle. They were a bit too quite, the entire engine was housed in a box that has left most of the cars by now.
The 1993/94 RS America is not a turbo, but is a very limited edition and highly coveted 'lightweight' version of the Carrera 2 with iconic fabric pull door handles, no sunroof, most without radios, and a trimmed down rear cabin area to lighten the car and make it a more purposeful track car. It had upgraded suspension and brakes (from the C2 turbo I believe). Regardless, add nearly double (or more!) tax to the present day purchase price of a 964 platform if you can find one to buy.
The 964 Turbo or 911 C2 Turbo was a completely different animal. In the beginning it was much closer to a 930 than the 964 including the 3.3L engine found in the 930s. Something about Porsche being able to get by ever increasing lower emissions standards by repurposing the older power plant design for this very limited production vehicle was what it took to get it into our market. Later on they updated the powerplant to the 3.6L displacement but it was still using CIS fuel injection even though it's siblings were on Motronic since 1989.
-----------------
The Mazda RX-7 my friend is and uber cool '3rd Gen' or 'FD' chassis. Like the Porsche 959 it used sequential turbochargers and is a dream to drive. The ultra complicated 13B-REW powerplant had a lot of trouble with it's maze of vacuum and boost controlled solenoids. When working well it was a seemless delivery of power, but more often than not after a service or the fuel line recall the engine would buck, hesitate, or build boost poorly. This was because even well trained Mazda mechanics often got it wrong putting it all back together, and the heat built under the hood of these cars deteriorated those miles of vacuum lines quickly especially after being man-handled by the service team. I owned one for a short period of time and yes, had to rebuilt all of the vacuum lines after the 'fuel line recall' to get it back to operational condition. It's almost a rite of passage with these cars to take them apart and put 'zip ties' on all of the vacuum lines where they joined manifold, etc.
In stock trim it was rated at 255HP but it didn't take much to build a fair amount more power. Well, not much if you consider dumping all of the sequential twin turbo and exhaust systems out of the car not much.
I owned the RS America equivalent of the 'FD' RX-7 known as an R1 variant. This was much like the RS America in that it had no sunroof, cloth interior, a simplified radio (not the big Bose Acoustic Wave system the touring models had), dual front mount oil coolers (Rotary engines live and die by oil temperature), beefed up suspension tuning and bracing, and the complimentary front chin and rear deck spoilers. To this day it's still the most wonderfully handling vehicle I have owned.
I miss that car!
