996 911 GT3 Cup Car Goes Up For Sale On BringATrailer
Want a guaranteed baller track car built by a factory racing team? Look no further than this 911.
Have you been looking for a new track car and want a really good deal on a car with a pedigree? It might be a worth while idea to consider a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. Let’s be honest, if we could, we would all have cars that do one thing really well, not something that does a bunch of things in an average fashion. So if you want to go fast, you want a real race car.
With places like Bring A Trailer, its possible to sell just about anything these days and this Cup car is no different. Let’s see some details about the vehicle.
First, lets consider that the price of a current generation GT3 Cup will cost you around $250,000 after everything is said and done and no, it doesn’t come with a license plate. Hell, Porsche Motorsport won’t even sell it to you if you aren’t a professional or semi-pro race team, so its best to start looking on the used market. Also, consider the fact that a current generation or even last-gen GT3 Cup on the used market will cost well over $100,000, with the most examples sitting above $150,000.
That’s a lot of coin for most of us and we would ideally like to get the best bang for our buck. We want a real race car, but maybe not the most expensive one. So we move down a couple of generations to the 996. This car is a 2003 model and according to its description, it won its NASA class in Utah in 2018. That’s a pretty good starting point if you ask us.
The car also features a simple, yet striking white, gray and black livery, mated to a proper 3.8L flat-six with a 6-speed manual. As mandated by class, the car comes with adjustable shocks, a fire suppression system, a MoTeC ECU and dash, driver AC, and a radio.
Now, most of us measure how long we have had our car by mileage, bur race cars measure the car’s life by hours and this one approximately has 774 hours of driving under its belt. With any race car, one most also consider the logbook. This logbook will keep us up to date with details of the car’s journey over the years, when it raced, its repairs, who inspected it for safety, and the general condition of the car before and after races.
Now the final aspect to consider is the price. We do not know what the reserve for the Porsche is, but considering a similar example sold last year for $36,000 and this current auction is at $43,460, we hope it will make a sale. At the price of some basic performance cars, you could have a pure-bred class winning race car. Looks like its time to find a trailer.
