What is The RS America registry? What does it do?
First of all, there’s no charge for registry membership and no financial profit will be made from this resource. The RS America registry is a sub division of the Porsche Club of America (PCA). It is intended to comply with the general objectives of PCA i.e.
“To encourage the highest standard of safety and courtesy on the highways, and to increase the enjoyment of owning a Porsche by the exchange of technical information and by engaging in such automotive and social events as may be agreeable to the members”
Additionally, the “Special Interest Groups” or registry programs go one step further and aim to provide a focal point for owners of a specific model of Porsche to be able to discuss and learn more about their particular model.
In the case of the RS America where the number of RSA’s built was very limited (701 total) a further objective of this registry – per the decision of the current registrar or “advocate” – is to try and locate as many RSA’s as possible and to build a database of each car identifying it by it’s unique Vin# and cataloging data such as the exterior color, manufacture date and which of the four factory options that the car was originally delivered with.
I have concerns about maintaining my Privacy. What happens to information I submit?
Maintaining member Privacy is an issue which, as registrar, I take very seriously. Any personal or contact data disclosed by registry participants will be considered confidential and as such will not be distributed, posted or forwarded without specific written permission (e-mail is acceptable) from the RSA owner concerned.
Why should I join the RSA registry? – What’s in it for me?
Each RSA owner is invited to join in order to be able to share their experiences and learn more about their car.There are many benefits of being part of the registry. These include having a friendly network of owners who you can discuss the pros and cons of just about any issue pertaining to your car.
Whatever the issue you have with your car, it is highly likely that someone else has also had a similar experience and could provide you advice on addressing it. Other advantages may include such things as organized events or gatherings featuring the RSA or simply having access to a central source for identifying providers of parts and services pertinent to the RSA.
