For a track car, the interior looks good. So many race cars have gauges just bolted into whatever surface they can find to avoid using the dash. The front end is iffy but overall, not bad at all.

It's a race car for crying out loud. In fact, it appears to be a well done race car. Get a grip guys.

The only problem I have with it is there doesn't seem to be any brake lights (that's a no-no) - unless they shine though the Porsche emblems. That's a little goofy and weird for a race car (or any car for that matter).

Geo, I think your right, from the auction:
"Custom LED tail lights (must see),"
Maybe the red in the Porsche crest is made up of LED's.

That's what I was thinking! That would be really neat! I really really like this car, it looks great, the wheels are to die for and the interior is FUNCTIONAL for the car's intended purpose: racing! For ALL that work that has been done to that car, I can honestly say that I think $25k is a fair price. GT3 prepped cars are serious business...

Joseph, you'd need your right arm to shift also....

I wasn't bashing this car, just thought it was "interesting" I think I would get a different wing for the back. I dunno.

Guys,
I know that car and its owner. The crests in rear are infact the brake lights. Also inspite of being a race car the paint work is show quality as the body work. The car owner has a body shop and a great looking race car is point of pride with him.


He just redid the front body work at the start of last year. Wheels are CCw's. I know he has black center set and polished center set. I am not sure if both are for sale with the car or not.

25K is great deal for this car. It fast and looks much better in front you than in pictures.

I think that car is great. I've been toying with the idea of LED's (in the original housing) and I like what he's done.

Remember the stating bid is 25k. I it worth more like 40k given what it is. We shall see where it comes out at the end of the auction.

Looks pretty good to me. I'd never get it simply because I can't afford it. If I could, and had the time to use it, it's about what I would look for in a track car.
