PS. I don't think you mentioned earlier...what type of race car are you considering?

LiveNupe

Now THAT'S the major question.

The short answer is I don't know.

The medium length answer is a spec boxster.

The full answer is.....
I'm really leaning towards buying a spec boxster to run in POC. However, I have a potential lead on a well-sorted 996 GT3 one of my POC brethren is thinking about selling. Although the 3 doesn't fit my criteria for a race car, I'm not totally against the idea of owning a dedicated track car (such as his GT3) for a year or two and THEN getting a race car.

I hope you get 60k, but then I might put mine up for sale also so I might be biased and hoping for a miracle

Sorry...I'm missing something here...

If you decide to go with the return to stock option, I have a friend who is looking for the roll-bar and seats. PM me if you want his contact info.

Good luck with whichever you decide,

LJpete,
Where does your friend live??? Please shoot me a PM with his contact info.

I got dibs on the control arms.

I'm looking to buy a race prepped car...... a car that already has a full roll cage and all of the go-fast parts already installed. A street GT3 is not a race car. It's obviously very competent on the track in DE and TT events, but not the right car for wheel to wheel racing. Converting a street GT3 into a race car is an extremely costly proposition... removing the trim pieces, installing a roll cage, upgrading the suspension parts, etc. etc. etc. It's much more cost effective to buy a cup car than it is to convert a street GT3 into a race car.

That's why I made the statement that a GT3 doesn't fit my criteria for a race car. Am I making better sense now???

If that is the car I think it is, you can't go wrong with it.

Are you going to be at SOW on the 11th?

zicoramone

Yes. I thought it was a little «strange» that the GT3 didn't fit your criteria but at the same time you were tracking a anniversary edition. But I see your point now and when I talk about a GT3 I'm referring to the whole model range that goes up to the RSR like many luckier on this board have. But it was my fault, sorry and thank you.

LiveNupe

The owner's initials are KR. Is that the car you're thinking about???

I signed up to instruct both days. Are you planning to be there???

JC3D

With that car you guys can remain friends since you both wont be NI.

HooliganX

Yes, that is such a perfectly set-up GT3.



Unfortunately, can't make it Saturday, but I signed up to instruct and run on Sunday. See you there.

And good luck with the sale of the silver car, it's a beauty!
