‘Rennlist’ Member Selling a 911 996 GT3 Cup Car

996 GT3 Cup can help you dominate track day, but it isn’t street legal.

If you have been dreaming of buying a Porsche 911 996 track toy, we may have the perfect car. The 996 GT3 Cup car shown here was posted to the Rennlist Marketplace by “Troutman” and it really doesn’t get more “track toy” than this. After all, this Porsche isn’t legal for street use, but for a turnkey road racer, the price is hard to beat.

GT3 Cup Specifics

For those who are unfamiliar with the 2005 Porsche 911 996 GT3 Cup, here is a quick rundown.

This purpose-built race car is powered by a 3.6 L flat-six Boxer engine that delivers approximately 370 horsepower. Transferring that power to the rear wheels is a 6-speed manual transmission and race-ready limited slip differential. We can’t find a curb weight online for one of these race cars, but with a cockpit that sheds all but what is necessary to go racing, we would imagine that this Porsche is quite lightweight.

In addition to the many pictures here, the OP also included a video of this 996 GT3 Cup in action, giving us a chance to ride along as he hunts down a Corvette at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

If you want to jump into road racing with both feet, this 996 GT3 Cup car is a great way to showcase your Porsche pride from the front of the pack.

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.

"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.

"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.

"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.

"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.

"Being based on Detroit," says Rall, "I never miss the North American International Auto Show, the Woodward Dream Cruise and Roadkill Nights, along with spending plenty of time raising hell on Detroit's Woodward Avenue with the best muscle car crowd in the world.
