These make fantastic DE cars, or great cars if you are thinking of coming out and racing with NASA in GTS or with Porsche club in GTC. This car is NOT street legal. It was built from the factory as a race car and was never intended or allowed to be used on the street.

Up for sale is a 2008 911 GT3 Cup race car. $79,500

The Vin number is WP0ZZZ99Z8S798171

It has 30 hours on the motor since rebuild.
It has only 9 hours on the transmission.
Full data sheet on the leakdown, dyno, shock dyno, compression tests are available.

This is a very nice example of a Porsche GT3 Cup race car. It is in very good condition with no issues. It has a total of 154 hours of run time on it since new.

You can see dossiers about the car as well as full size pictures here:

It is in the directory 171 which aligns with the last 3 digits of the VIN number.

The car includes the autoblipper. It comes with an extra set of wheels, the wheel travel hold downs, 2 different car covers, air jack wand, and the technical manuals. All of the original purchase paperwork from Porsche.


It came up from Brazil. The owner of the cars also owned the dealerships down there. They owned a race series in Brazil and leased the cars to drivers and sold the sponsorship. These guys are no slouches. They currently are running over 30 991 cup cars and about the same number of 997.2 cup cars, so you can imagine the magnitude of their operation and experience. The race groups there are broken into two groups. The 991's are called cup and the 997.2's are called challenge.

For entertainment, here is a video that Porsche made of the Brazilian group and a 991 cup car.


Here is a promo about the racing group.


You can see plenty more videos by searching Porsche GT3 Cup Brasil (not Brazil)

How Many hrs between engine and transmission rebuilds and what's the cost?

 

There is a lot of debate about this. You will get as many options as you will find snowflakes.

Here is my experience:

Depends on what you are going to do with it and how hard you are going to drive it. Pro driver in the car racing professionally. 50-60 hours on the motor and 25-30 hours on the transmission.

Drivers education event driver not bouncing off the rev limiter every shift (or downshift) and using the clutch on downshifts 200 hours on the engine and 75-100 on the trans.

Club racer, somewhere in between.

Again, cost ? Depends on what you do and who does it. Guys have spent upwards of 35k on a rebuild where the engine comes out and goes to Porsche Motorsports and they send it back rebuilt (new heads, new rods, new p's and c's every time) or you can spend less with a private shop.

These motors are exactly the same as the GT3 motors you would find in the street cars. Nothing is different (except for the tune and cams). They are the same architecture as the 996 or 997 turbo motors as well. Same motor.

Thanks

Interesting, 200/100 would be very tolerable for DE use but 35K is a big pill to swallow when it comes time.

Any reason why the engine and trans use is measured in hours instead of miles if it's essentially the same motor as a GT3 street car?

 

Yes, best deal on that would be to find a Porsche shop in your area that would do better than that. What area are you in.

Thanks
