With a 500rpm buffer between redline and registering range 1 over revs on a 7GT3, if you keep racking up range 1s, all that proves is that you are incompetent at properly shifting the car.....

Yup. And from day one many or even most owners were driving these on the street, just like today's 991 GT3 RS owners. And these are much rarer, so I would be more likely to throw caution to the wind with a more common, less valuable car.
I don't think I would chance tracking a 1973 RS either. But point is, there are many ways to love cars, including GT3s.

15000 miles and no over revs...even range 1....sorry but that is not how this car was meant to be enjoyed. Might even have some carbon build up. Absolutely beautiful car! should be interesting to see where it sells.
any pics of the damaged rocker from the car fax? or at least a receipt of what was done?

sorry, I was thinking about my post and realized it was incorrect as the car can be and should be enjoyed below redline without indicating any over-revs. As a matter of fact this car has been well taken care of. I guess I was thown off by the zeros, as I am not used to seeing those. It looks like a beautiful car and the winner of the auction will get an incredible car. I drove one of these at Mosport years ago (student's car), it was incredible, and I couldn't stop thinking about it for days.
My white .1 had 40k miles and zero overrevs. My orange .1 has three in range 3. They drive the same. We will see how oil holds up and the analysis but I think everyone gets hung up on the overrevs. I thought to myself, if I have an issue with the motor, I'll rebuild it. I mean that's what this motor is good at. The ability to be rebuilt over and over.
Hi Dan, I take back my reply also. Didn't meant to start a sidebar debate.

No big deal at all. We get the underlying message and that's love for Porsche. What is demonstrated to me is I've owned a lot of different cars and the Porsche fanboys and girls are different than any other marque. It's not even close

Best of luck with the sale. Curious to see how the RS does on C&B.
