Sportec 997 GT2 "RS" - Anyone know this car?

I just ran across this ad on the Starwood Motors site and was wondering if anyone knew the car? Also, has anyone dealt with Starwood before?

http://www.starwoodmotors.com/web/us...exas/10564426/

It seems like all of the mods were very well done, and all original parts come with the car. I am not too concerned about the miles, but wanted to see if there were any stories out there.

TIA

Besides the GT2RS stickers and plaque, it looks like a great car.

Great looking car!! Never understood though why the re-badging even so far as putting a plaque showing it is 000 out of 500. Isn't it really 501 out of 500? Still a great car.

I saw the car in person a couple months ago...gorgeous. Looks like new (though I wasn't inspecting for purchase). Story is the owner wanted a GT2RS and just built one at a cost no object build. It has carbon fenders as well as carbon wheels I believe.

You need to do some homework before you post.

Starwood is a legit company, but their inventory is frequently VERY overpriced

That car has been there for a while. Looks great, but idk about the fake gt2rs thing. I would prefer to get a low mileage gt2 for around 130k.
