You realize advertised peak hp gains aren’t necessarily at the same rpm and don’t stack, right? You don’t just sit there and go “this gives 20 hp, this gives 10, and that gives 10, so now I have 40 more up!” Not to mention, dyno numbers are notoriously unreliable, even the same car the same day has variation 5-10hp, let alone different cars, different dynos.

Did they seriously claim that on the listing? That's almost 100 HP over a 991.1 GT3 RS engine which is just comedic. I mean, maybe Demann or some engine builder could get close, but no way in hell could you get those numbers with just bolt-ons with a .1 engine.

Yeah, the seller is claiming sub-3 0-60 times which would be a blast but seems too good to be true, right? The advertised hp figures I can find are:
That would require 123hp from the airbox and tune. I’m in touch with the shop that did the work to figure out exactly what’s going on.
- Fabspeed Exhaust - 27
- Fabspeed Headers - 15
- IPD Plenum - 15

Not many 100K for sale because people who keep them that long are enjoying them, not selling them. I had planned to keep my last one way past 100K, but some lady entering a roundabout had a different plan. I was @ 80K and insurance paid out more than I bought the car for, so even with the miles, it held it's value in the current market. Is it a PDK or manual? Get a DME report either way and see how many miles/hours/starts are on the car. This will give you somewhat of an indication on how it was used. From what I can tell bore scoring isn't really a thing on these cars. If you had a previous owner who decided to "warm it up" before driving, the DME might give you some insight if that was the case. Even then it is not a common occurrence on the 9A1 engine according to what we see in this forum. These cars are robust. If it is a car that has the options you want/need and speaks to you, I wouldn't shy away due to mileage, assuming it is appropriately priced. As a bonus you can use the milage as leverage in negotiations.
