Haven’t heard of someone driving their 997 GT3 more than this particular car.

That's a beautiful relationship with a car. Inspiring.

No word if t's the original engine or if it is, what was replaced over the years. It would be nice to see documentation of all the maintenance

Like JB911 said, he missed the real story, and that's going through the service history. It would be great to know how many miles the engine, trans, diff, etc can go before rebuild. Or multiple rebuilds.

A VERY unique story and the new owner has the books no doubt. It would be super interesting.

I know that sound. Super awesome dude owns the car. Good on him!

I think he's also done a podcast w/Sam Moore, no?

Looks like mostly regular maintenance.

This is typical for any modern reliable car really. Plenty of turbo 911s with tons of miles too.

That 997.1 gt3 owner is my hero

XrussianX

How about the carbon rotors still OG? That is impressive on its own

JB911

What about water pump, alternator? Maybe other things were done but not detailed in the "major" and "minor" services
But it seems quite impressive.
No coolant leak? Pinned/welded or not?

I've never seen a high-power manual transmission sports car go anywhere near 141,000 miles. My 996 was 300hp and I got 40k, and maybe the same from a 997.1 C4S but I think the throwout bearing failed first. Hard to remember. 100k would be an outlier, 141k is crazy.

I remember I was with my best friend looking at a Lambo many years ago and asked the salesman about the clutch life and he said "Many of my customers are getting 3,000 miles" like it was something to brag about. My buddy was beside himself laughing.
