Hey guys,

While I've enjoyed this car for almost a year, my "car-geek ADD" is setting in and I'm itching to get into a GT3 (not looking for trades unless you have a 2004-2005 GT3).

Details
  • 3rd Owner
  • Factory Starshield (original)
  • Touring Package
  • Track Package
  • No LSD

Recent Maintenance
  • Oil Line Recall performed at Galpin Lotus in May 2015 @ 12K miles
  • Brake/Clutch fluid flush with Castrol SRF @ 12,7xx miles
  • Oil change w/Motul 300v 5w40 @ 12K miles (performed w/recall)
  • Engine air filter (TRD) @ 11,7xx miles
  • Oil change w/Motul 300v 5w40 @ 10,5xx miles
  • Transmission fluid flush @ 10,5xx miles
  • Brake/Clutch fluid flush @ 10,5xx miles
  • Cams inspected by Dietschwerks @ 10,5xx miles and OK'd
  • Alignment + corner balance @ 10,5xx miles

I have the majority of service records for the car dating back to when it was first purchased at Ferrari of Denver in 2009.

Interior
  • Pioneer headunit w/Bluetooth & USB plug instead of iPod connector
  • Alcantara wrapped steering wheel w/blue stitching & yellow stripe
  • Driver + Passenger Schroth 4pt ASM harnesses (blue)

Exterior
  • Sector 111 Stella Corse wheels on R888s
  • Reverie 3-element CF diffuser
  • Von Hep rear panel eliminator
  • BOE ST-5 muffler (repacked at 12,2xx miles) - passes 90db sound at Laguna Seca
  • Sector 111 bullet wheel studs
  • Sector 111 foldable tow hook (red)

Suspension/Mechanical
  • Ohlins 3-way coilovers (custom valved by Allen @ VSA)
  • Sector 111 V2 Arms
  • Sector 111 RTD2 brace + endlinks
  • Sector 111 ProRAD
  • Sector 111 gPAN3
  • Sector 111 QWKCans
  • Sector 111 Trackmounts2
  • Odyssey PC680 w/RLS mount + Sector 111 Xtender cutoff
  • Sector 111 V2 fuel tank
  • Cup airbox w/TRD filter
  • Sector 111 Transcables package
  • RLS intercooler heatshield

The car has been modded to be a bulletproof hoot on the track, while still maintaining that "clean" look on the street. As such, I have done 3 track days with the car myself (cannot speak for the prior owners, although the car didn't show any major signs of track usage when I took possession). No offroad excursions and absolutely no accidents. Paint is all original.

Before anyone asks, I am NOT looking to part the car out. I'd prefer to sell the car as is to someone like myself who intends on using the car for canyon driving & light track use. She's a little too pretty to become a full track rat IMO

Some pictures can be found here (including an album of all of the cosmetic "imperfections" on the car): https://www.flickr.com/photos/116409993@N05/

Before anybody comments on the price, keep in mind that it's OBO and it's a relative bargain for a clean S240 that has been bulletproofed for the track.

If anyone is curious what the car sounds like, here is a clip with the external mic placed right behind the seats:

Just washed the car and added 50 new pics of the car to my flickr album here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/116409993@N05/

Forgot to add in my original post that the car has an RLS intercooler heatshield w/gold foil and an aftermarket clear bra on the windshield.
