If they are 5-8% across all then that is very good. That is a variance that leaves nothing be concerned about. You should be worried is they are all 5-8% with the exception of say 1 cylinder that is twice that.

so here is the question you need to address: Do you want a $50K GT3 or a $60+K GT3? There is risk with any non-CPO or new car. You will not find a $50K car with numbers of a new low milage car. Good Luck.

For peace of mind sure. But I can tell you that Greg is one of the best out there and his resume is stellar. I wouldn't trust ANYBODY more with my life on track. With that said, you can take what Greg reports as factual.

As I said, I know Greg and Dave very well. If I can help in any way let me know. Dave is very trustworthy and not going to run off with your money or anything like that.

I just wish that was me Ian Stewart has been co-driving my GT3 and now GT2 for awhile. He won the SCCA Super Stock Solo/Pro Solo Nationals in 2007. Drove the GT3 to 4th overall in the 2008 One Lap (should have been 3rd but I drove VIR in the wet/damp/dry and sucked). 2nd overall in the 2009 OLOA in the GT2.
