If you're interested, the car is just arrived at the dealer and the guy who ordered it backed out.

It's Speed Yellow with yellow belts, that's it!

Again PM me if you're interested.

Just thought I'd say it again. I don't have any affiliation nor do I receive or want any compensation. Just doing us enthusiasts a favor.

Man honestly I thought you weren't interested in the 997GT3 or it's price tag!

M, so true. If it was a daily driver I would have been more serious but the thought of tracking that car right now just didn't appeal to me (well mainly the wife ). $120K is one helluva lota car to risk turning into a crushed tin can!

Not to mention, the challenge of driving the MkII to it's limits (well, at least my limits) and knowing that it is skill and not driver aids is VERY appealing. Besdies, GM's car is going to be in good hands

^996 GT3's are a lot of fun to drive...I've yet to drive a 997 version, I suspect that to drive it at the limits (the car's) it will be very demanding as well. Especially the RS!

This one won't last long.

Especially since State Farm and Farmers Insurance, et al are now specifically excluding DE events from coverage.

"especially the RS."

I believe RS performance will be no better than the regular GT3, with the exception of the LWFW. Same engine, trans/gears, suspension, etc. Not all the weight savings of the euro version, so no more go.

this issue is really freaking me out of late.

and as the sport gets popular, some drivers get overzealous and drive certain cars that are fast and almost drive themselves (Evo and STi comes to mind). thus when they go off, they go off BIG time. they may shoot back on track and take US out. they may leak oil and unless your Ghetto Racer himself, you got no chance but kiss the wall....

i sure as hell can't afford to wad up a GT3.

the popularity of de's is going to drop big time if the insurance cos. start pulling out of coverage.

you mean you would steal my new car right out from under me mooty?

havent heard anything from your buddy, mj
