Congrats Big S!! I got close but Bloose993tt did a fine job!

 

Thanks Groove!! and thank you GPappy!!

I am happy (minus going to miss this awesome iconic car).

 

Thanks brother!! Me TOO!!

 

Thanks guys!! It was fun and I'm happy!!

I appreciate everyones support and help.

 

Big Swole, that was fun to watch the last 15 minutes of your auction. I really thought it was going to crack $90k with those 3 bidders going at it. You managed that auction really well and had tons of great comments!

 

Thank you!! I really tried to do the best I could, after watching so many other peoples auctions.
I wanted any and all to get as much info as humanly possible on this car.
$90K+ would have been cool, but I'm blessed for it to have gone for the $89K.
I'm happy with it, but just going to miss it for sure.

 

Short shifting all it’s life to have all zeroes.

The best part of it is that you had something to miss. Most of us have never sat in a car like that let alone owned or even driven one. With the way prices have been going along with my advancing age, it looks like the best I can do is to make my 996 the best it can be. I can live with that.

 

@southbay
Range 1 over-revs for 997 GT3 are 9000-9200 rpm (600-800 rpm beyond the already high 8400 rpm rev limiter). People see a 997 GT3 with no over revs and lament how it was never "driven properly", then see a 997 Turbo with range 3s (7200-7400 rpm which is 400-600rpm above the 6800 rpm rev limiter) and declare it an abused track rat that will without a doubt self destruct at any moment....

 

It seems like prices are changing daily these days, almost like the stock market... $205,000 my estimate.

You make a great point. I'm very very blessed to have had this opportunity and time with the car. I'm certainly not complaining.

I hope you have the chance at a great deal someday and / or make that 996 as awesome as it can be.

 

Thanks for the info. I thought the numbers would be more common like our 997s. A member recently did a test on his 997 and registered 1,2&3 just by hitting the rev limiter in 1st.
