My 997.1 Kermit was never a garage queen. 2007 to 2016 autocross warrior. Many season wins in class. 30+ events a season. And it has the cone scars to prove it on the black bits around the car, and black cone marks on the clear film. It has Shark tune, GMG sways, cup car R&P, 6 point harness for driver, and 2008 CF GT2 seats. Serious alignment too.
Car has 14000 miles? Just had transmission refresh because the aftermarket LSD had an issue. $$$ but now has Gard Billet LSD, and Porsche competition clutch. Beast of a toy.
6 events in 2019 after refresh and not driven at all in 2020.
I have 2 choices I guess. Sell it, and it has super value as a championship car (choke, cough cough). Or just clean it up and align for street duty.

 

I'd keep it for street use. Providing that you can find the time to drive it given that you have quite an amazing group of cars. But I think your signature says it all "keeper". To me, a 997 GT car is a keeper. 997.1RS even more of a keeper. In green even more so than that. Even though I know a guy very interested in a Kermit/Frog and another guy that'd probably be pretty interested too. If you decide to sell it, now is probably the time to do so with the market being at a high. Who knows where it goes from here.

 

Sell it...........to me Just kidding, I already have an Orange one, but there is a part of me that hopes you do sell it. If you do, consider BaT. So many RS's sold there recently, as you likely know. I'd love to know what a very well used Kermit would sell for. Mine is set up similarly to yours, so selfishly wanting a data point.... So glad you have enjoyed it as intended!!!

CheeRS,

let me know if you decide to sell. i'd def be interested to know more details. i'm just up the road in NH.

The desire to sell is usually motivated by a new desire. Is there another car being considered? If not why the debate on selling it?

 

I vote convert to street, keep it. Almost irreplaceable nowadays.

Keep it, street duty

 

Keep that beast. You will regret selling it.

 

There is no reality that ends well with selling such an awesome example of a 997.1 3RS. Keep your Kermit and enjoy it for the next several decades as a street car. They are not making cars like that anymore, and yours will always be a fine specimen.

 

yep, clean it up & keep for street duty. 14k miles is nothing even if those were AutoX miles. No worse for the wear, and you'll still love getting back in it on those nice days.

The real question I have for you is this: If you keep the kermit, would you then sell the 2018 PTS Lichtgrun GT3 6MT ???

which of those two do you prefer better for street duty?

 

Im in SE Mass if you would like to discuss selling.

 

Your signature already contains the answer.

 

I hope you keep it, its a special car.

But you'll have to start calling it by the correct color, as described by Eduardo below. Its RS Green, not Viper.

'"RS Green' was 2D8. It was specifically formulated for the 2007 gt3 RS"

 

Just looking for collective thoughts. And I know Viper Green is not the color name, no idea where I got that idea.
For sure it is a drivers car that was driven. And I did a serious $ shift so it is on its second engine (at 8000 miles?). It was sidelined in 2016 when the CSP diff broke. I ran with one of my GT4s and finally got around to getting it fixed early in 2018. There was snow on the ground by the time I got it back and Kermit saw about 6 autocross days in 2019. Transmission work was about 18k, ouch. Sitting on the lift over Lichtgrun since Fall of 2019.
Maybe I need to throw some street tires on it when the weather breaks and clear my head. But for sure the cup car R&P makes first gear a stump puller. Wagging the tail at intersection turns is effortless with little engine or tire sound.

 

HAHA - took the words right from my soup hole!!!

Street that thing and kick down that Lichtgrun to me!!!
