Pictures or it didn't happen! Seinfeld & Spike seem like pretty reputable guys, but Zuckerman is a attorney so take his opinion with a grain of salt

White/Black Stripe R available.

I know an uncirculated 84 mile white / black stripe, LWFW, Seats, lift, A/C, Bose in mid 300 from VIP making room for GT2RS. Nice car. No stories. PM if you have any interest. Not my car. I'm not seller or broker just FYI. And yes I know how many are being dumped! I believe they'll be sorry some day.

Yes - as my contacts at Porsche said, it is a clutch swap...very straightforward. Factory parts, factory software, simple stuff.

There are many people mothballing their cars...pretty odd as they are missing out. I love my 911R and would never not drive it to save it for the next guy...so odd...
I have a friend who has one and he has about 100 miles on it after a year. Kind of lame. Not what Porsche intended.

I'm at around 6500 miles now (been a cold winter here!) and can promise that the car gets better and better with miles on it. Exhaust is loosening up as well, and sound is much more raucous than when new

Hmmm... I wonder if it can be done to the 991.2 GT3 engine...

I’m sure he hopes the R stays 2x as special as the Touring.

The R’s (with few exceptions, of course) get driven when they get in the low 200’s.

Given the wealth of this individual, it would not surprise me if he doesn't even remember that he owns them. I've seen a few of them and they're stunning.
