Finally getting a GT3

After 5 years driving a 997C2S, I have decided to make the leap to the GT3. Since I track my car a lot, I took the plunge on a well (track) modified 997.1GT3

Here is the car, subject to a PPI, it will be mine.

Sorry not allowed to post live links for non site sponsors. Go to Switchcars.com, check the inventory, and on page 2 there is a GT Silver 997.1GT3 listed.

Thanks Brian, I was looking for a Carrera White one, but GT Silver is very nice as well. The list of mods on this car is impressive, I am sure there is stuff from you guys on there somewhere.

and the goodies...

2007 Porsche 911 GT3 - GT Silver with factory Black wheels with polished rim.

Upgrades include:

Porsche 997 cup rotors with Supercup RS-19 front pads (replace OEM Ceramic rotors for better effectiveness and wear on track; keeps OEM calipers)

Moton Clubsport suspension with Eibach springs

Monoball suspension

drop links and toe links

lightweight flywheel

heavy-duty clutch

Porsche Cup gearing

Clearbra

Porsche OEM harness bar

Recaro racing seats

Scroth Racing Harnesses

--

. Upgrades, service/maintenance done by Kelly Moss Motorsports and Premier Sportscar Service.

This car needs nothing - fresh service and new rear tires. Absolutely ZERO overrevs - full ECU printout available.

All receipts of work included.

Original factory options include: GT Silver Metallic, Bi-Xenons, Heated front seats, Sport Chrono, Fire Extinguisher, PCCB, Sound Package Plus, Wheels painted in deviated color, Porsche crest in headrest, Foot rest aluminum. (stock seats and brakes are NOT included). Original MSRP $124k.

Excellent condition car - we've known the last two owners and both the shops that serviced it - I've personally driven the car on the street and the track and know the last owner well - it's been taken very good care of and hasn't been abused. This is a GREAT street/track toy with all the parts already on it, and set up properly

Yeah but Chuck......I wish you would have put at least put ONE over rev on it before Ed got it,LOL!

BUT in all reality...what you are saying HAS to make Ed really comfortable with the deal as well!

I wish I had the opportunity...that car has to be great fun to drive on the track...especially with the cup gears to keep the revs in the power band...unfortunately, I just posted the info for all to see...I'm not the seller

I have seen the invoices, it all looks good. I am just getting my own check done at a dealer to make sure the transmission, LSD, and a few of the other possible issues are not present.
