Default A new toy added to the garage - 997.2 GT3 RS

As mentioned in some other posts, I have been on the hunt for a good 997.2 GT3 RS for quite awhile but they are few and far between because....back then....they were not garage queens and were usually DRIVEN by their owners. That means that there are few cars out there in really good condition with low miles.

Well, last week I found one that was almost too good to be true. 9,000miles/15,000km, 100% 1st paint, no over revs, perfect wheels (never curbed), etc. So I jumped on it.

Collected it today. Now it's back to the garage for some TLC. Fluids changed, new tyres, interior/exterior detail....and then it's good to go.

I don't think I could have found a better car so very happy.

Looking forward to reading your head 2 head review!

Congrats and enjoy them both to the fullest :

I'm pondering the same actually. Once I get my 991.2, I might sell the 997.2 if I can find the right white 7.2 RS

I also wanted a white 997.2 to go with my white 991 GT3 but I put the quality/condition of the car above colour so end up with a grey one which was my second preference.
