Default Is it possible to import a GCC spec GT3 to the States?
I have a friend who owns a 997.2 RS and he wants to sell it to a potential customer in LA. However, given Gulf specs are a bit different (plexi screen, etc...), is that even possible?

GCC specs will be perfect for europe and very easy for minor modifications.
it is a nightmare to convert to US specs...I would not try it...

Yes importing any foreign spec to the US is a nightmare. I would drop the idea immediately. Not worth the trouble.

Yes, it possible.

Practical? Sensible?

Magic 8-ball says, "no"
