The 996 GT3 numbers you posted are sales numbers (by month) and in some cases the 2004-2005 models got mixed do to overlap of inventory. There are more than 95 of the 2005. There are slightly more than 1000 of the North American Specification cars not 960.

Grats', to both parties.. How's the 997TT?? Was considering letting my RUF GT2 go for something more drivable on a daily basis, yet still being cool/fun and being a super car... No luck deciding what I want to do and keep on going back to just having a regular comfy DD (M5 or such) and GT2 as the raw weekend/track car, even though my track day's are so limited now :/ Friend has a 997TT and love it, always wanted a Gallardo, GT3 RS (same position more or less as GT2 though) and just cannot give my car up , after driving it each and every time....

How do you guy's give these special car's up ha? So hard when we are so attached

Very cool. I own a spiritual predecessor to the GT2 - a 930 with 514HP and 2650 lbs....mind blowing, perception altering ... unlike anything I have ever driven. I'd think only a Veyron would give more of a thrill...and only in a straight line.

Nice 997TT. Your son will have great memories of this car and be on his way to being a car-guy as well.
