Default After 8 amazing years I am selling my 997S

Greatest car I ever owned, hands are full with a GT350 and now that the new Corvette Grandsport is selling way below MSRP looking to give that a try. Thank you all for some awesome banter and information over the years.

Thought i'd share - the car is immaculate.

Great car, fair price, should go quick. Have fun with the Ford and Chevy. Should be a fun departure. The Vette's are amazing cars and I took a hard look myself last year.

Test drove the Z06 after dissecting a Grand Sport at the dealer before deciding to go with the 997S. They are crazy fast cars and look menacing as all <insert expletive here>! The GS was new order only though so the price was too high for me to justify it at the time.

GLWS!

The Grand Sport seems like the one to have from what I've read. Enjoy.

Sorry to see you go. With full records, those options (brakes, seats, etc), and recent service (clutch and IMS), I would've listed it at $42k and taken $40k.

GLWS, though you shouldn't need it

Life moves on. I'm sure you will be back. GLWS and post pics of your Chevy GS when you get it.
