"I also don't see the used prices recovering on GT3s in the short term, but I can see them being comparable to the RS America from yesteryear in relation to other 996s from the same era"
I agree wholeheartedly. The prices will drop to 50k and stop hopefully, versus 996's. Hell I'm seeing 997 C2s' trading under 50.

Figures. I just bought (last month) an '05 that is totally stock except for some worthless (on the track) stereo upgrades and radar detector. Paid 61 plus. I should have waited, as I see prices coming down some more.
BTW, this is my first GT3, bought it for tracking. I've been lurking on this forum since I decided to go with this car, and it looks like lots of good advice available here.

Good luck Colby. It is a nice car i've seen it.
Looking on the bright side the opportunity cost of balling it up at the track is way lower now.
Plus not sure you'll find a cheaper alternative for tracking. remeber the gt3 is robust.
i thought cayman was cheap until engine blow ups and power steering issues rose. plus people called me gayman even though i've had more as$ than the women's toilet at grand central.
if u stick to nittos, srf and pagids and ncrc ($100 track days) a track day in gt3 costs maybe $500:
$100 track fee (NCRC - AND u get to race!)
$180 tires (i assume 6 days);
$40 rotors (deman will likely last 15 days);
$70 pads (i assume 10 days);
$100 gas (you can drive to a local gas station in between sessions to fill up so 2 tanks at $40 each plus $20 getting there)
$10 castrol SRF (i assume 10 days);

LOL! I've been known that. A black GT3 in my mirror, get the heck out of the way!
if you buy strategically when stupid mooty is dumping inventory during wife's garage audits, your consumable cost is much lower.[/QUOTE]
Keep em coming! Us 'poor' folk need more garage sales!
Note to self: Talk to Mooty's wife about making garage audits more frequent!

171 mph does not like cars brake checking on him for no reason as witnessed as a passenger at thill with a fellow pcar driver in front of him at t11. Dave while tracking has a foul mouth : ). Mike
