Thanks for the plug Scott. Ya, it’s what I paid for it 5 years ago. I’m looking for a quick sale. White is an incredible color on the 996 GT3, I believe it’s because the narrow body lines are so subtle. White helps bring them out a bit.

This is the previous sellers ad for the car 5 years ago

OP, late joining here. I was just going to say that I too flirt with 997 RS's online every winter while my 6gt3 is in storage. Today, just like in all previous Springs, I took it out on the first backroad run and I am fully back in love, all repentant for my blasphemous RS winter thoughts.

We seem to have a very similar back-roads pair in the 6gt3 and the Boxster. The 6gt3 is for the rare intense, sweaty palms, short (30-60min) backroads runs. The Boxster for the almost every-day top-down backroad runs. Very different experiences. To add to this contrast I'm now putting a muffler bypass in the 6gt3 for even more noise and rawness. We'll see how that goes.

Similar to the RS flirtations against the 6gt3, I've also been having Spyder flirtations against the Boxster. Your Spyder looks very tempting -- torn by the auto-top comfort, great color combo (GT Silver + Nat Brown full leather), and the >2x price diff. Just picked it up from my mechanic with new Michelin PS4S and a Milltek exhaust and drives, feels, and sounds like a brand new car!

Congrats on the RS and GL with your sales! And love your W Rohrl sig!

Only 39 white 996 GT3’s imported to NA?

Great write up there hf1. Thanks for your take on this. I spent the afternoon deep cleaning the inside of the car including the motor bay and Frunk. Felt great and helped me re bond with the car again. It’s a very special machine👍 Nice Boxster too. They are great little cars. The Spyder is a different animal and very very quick and nimble. The top takes 2 minutes to take down and store, and another 2 to re install. Very unique piece of Porsche engineering.

Sorry, I got that from an old Rennlist post. It was later corrected to say 51 white Carrara 996.2 GT3s

Cool. thanks. 51 is still pretty low. Good to know👍

There is another post somewhere on RL with these piecharts I downloaded a few years back. Mine is Midnight Blue and got some exercise yesterday before 5" of snow fell overnight.

I thought yellow was much rarer!

Yellow was the launch color, and arguably the best looking color for the 6gt3. 😀

I'd say 158 cars in existence is pretty dang rare!

I believe the pie charts, although I don't know the source of any of these graphs. I remember the pie charts and was looking for them, but could only find the ones that I referenced. Thanks for posting them.

christallon

Thanks for posting the color wheels. I knew the Carrara White cars were relatively rare, just didn’t know actual numbers. Cool👍 I’ve said it before, the 996 GT3’s look just perfect in white.

Whoa, 10 seal grey 2005 996GT3s. I'm glad Chris sold me his. If his white one is anything like mine, buy it with confidence.
