Must be his Laguna car. 6GT3 is a disposable track car once you own a 7RS

But nice Mooty, 4 x 6GT3s. You are crazy....but

Second owner. Bought with 11K miles over a year ago. Now 14.5K. 75% street 25% track days (have other cars that see more track). Nothing to report leaking or otherwise - just normal maintenance - brake pads and tires. Did replace a plastic brake duct from a chunk of deer carcass in the road.

I will second (or third or fourth) that this car never ceases to amaze me. Bravo Porsche.

2005, I am the 2nd owner. Bought 7/07 with 7500 miles, now at 9300 miles. Est 1200 track miles. First owner had one cylinder head replaced due to porosity, as well as RMS. I replaced tires, rotors, and pads. Also new windshield from rock damage. The car runs perfectly and is the finest I've ever owned.

Oh yeah, my car has 22k miles, purchased it Sept. '06 with 14k. Two measly track days in 16 months :-(

No mechanical issues whatsoever, knock on wood. Warranty expires in 7 days.

First owner of 2004, which came off warranty yesterday. 31000 miles. Car is both my daily driver and track vehicle. (probably 3500 milles track time) and at least 9000 getting to/from tracks.

No reliability problems ever!

Now that all repair bills will be paid by me, I hope it stays this way.

As track car, goes through lots of tires, pads and rotors.

Carrara White, black standard interior. First owner, July 2004. 21,200 miles. About 30% are track miles, most of the rest are to and from tracks such as Blackhawk, Road America, Gingerman, Autobahn CC. Tequipment roll bar, brembo gt floating rotors, Porsche/recaro seats, Fikse Profil 10 black center, satin rims. Corner balanced, track alignment. Zero mechanical issues. Lots of brake pads (Pagid RS14/15) and tires(MPSC) regular fluid changes. It is the car in the Fall Line motorsports ad. It's a keeper.

Post GT3 milage update

Purchased my GT3 new in March of '05 and it's been my daily-driver ever since. I've put 47,545 street miles (no track time) on it to date. Only one issue, replacement of leaking front main seal. Otherwise the car has been flawless. Best and most fun car I've ever owned.
