Looking for 996 GT3 and this is one of the "finalists" we are considering.

Call Kent Moore, the owner of Premier. He can discuss the mods he made up until June 08' and maybe who it went to in SLC....

Good advice, will call Ken tomorrow. Will also get PPI done before pulling the trigger. Was hoping someone on this board would actually know the car.

Thanks,

Tico

Nice looking car, Tico! I think a stop in Denver "on the way home" would be in order if you buy it!
Hope all is well,
Joe

Hey Joe! If we buy the car, we will have it transported to Memphis. My oldest son lives in Boulder now, I will see you before too long!

I inquired about that car quite heavily when it was first posted. All the right stuff for a serious track car.

The combination of the previously much higher asking price and the fact that it was soo far away from me kept me from really going to check it out in person. I still think the asking price is a bit steep but it's come down a good bit and is much more reasonable now.

Switchcars was very quick and responsive in answering all my questions when I inquired.

I actually do know tha car as I tracked against it extensively from 06-08 at MMP in Utah! The owner was an older gentleman in the construction business who had dreamed of tracking a 911 and was intent on adding all the bells and whistles. It was an exclusive track car and he had an exclosed trailer with all the tools. I don't recall it having any issues or on tack incidents, and from what I understand he bought it new.

He serviced the car in Las Vegas with Kent Moore at Premier who specializes in GT3s, but more recently at Air Power Racing in Ogden, Utah. I use Kent exclusively, as did LVDell when he lived in Las Vegas. Air Power has a good reputation in Utah, but does specialize in older 911s. You should call Kent - he can provide very good detail on the car...

I was surprised to see the car listed at Switchcars as I was hoping to see him at the track this summer. At that price, I even discussed buying it with my wife - but two GT3 track cars is less than practical...

Feel free to PM me with any more questions...

Good luck!

I love that it has the child seat airbag deactivation bar along with the harness and CS seats

Didn't see the AP brakes mentioned in the ad BTW
