Default Selling GT3 and getting a Cup car.

Yes....another GT3 for sale. I absolutely love the car, more than I ever anticipated. I haven't sold it yet and I am already feeling sad...I just can't afford to buy a Cup car without selling the GT3, which breaks my heart....

It is on the classified section. To follow the summary from the ad;

Asking $110.000

Description
2007 997 GT3 Guards Red. 14.500 miles. Perfect condition, both body and mechanical.

The car has been tracked this year without incidents. Never raced, except some rehearsals organized by PCA to qualify for a racing license this past weekend. Perfect mechanical components. Engine oil changes every 2 DE events and transmission oil changes every 2-3 DE events (just because).

Options: Xenon, black full leather, fire extinguisher (on original seats), and aluminum foot rest.

Upgrades: Front grills (carnewal), 996 GT3 seats, Brey-Krause lower seat brackets, Brey-Krause attachments for a 6 point harness while still compatible with street 3 point belts, DAS roll bar, Protosport front rotors, TRG rear toe links, front lower Cup car control arms, TRG wheel studs, clear front bra and side extensions. All original parts still available.

Also available at a different price plenty of Pagid 29 (front) and 14 (rear) spare pads, one set of 18“ Fikses (Profil 10 Black), one set of 18” Volks (TE 37 Titanium gun metal), and one extra set of Protosport front rotors.

Absolutely in love with the car. I am just taking the jump into racing with a Cup car, otherwise I would keep it for many years to come. An absolutely perfect track car.

Thank you.

After a frined of mine read my post, I would like to clarify one statement.

When I said the car has never been raced, probably it is not 100% accurate. This past weekend I did 2 races with this car so PCA would be able to issue me a racing license. Was it a race? yes. Did I drive any differently than the way I do my DEs? no.

I also appreciate very much eveybody's comments. It is indeed a magnificient car on the track. It has surpassed all my expectations.

Thanks again and sorry if it looked as a half way honest statement. It was never intended.

Good luck with the sale, great setup.

I am interested in the Pagid 29 (front) and 14 (rear) spare pads as well as the front rotors if you still have them.

Tks

Dropped the price to $105.000.

I am including for the same price plenty of Pagid 29 (front) and 14 (rear) spare pads, one set of 18“ Fikses (Profil 10 Black), one set of 18” Volks (TE 37 Titanium gun metal), and one extra set of Protosport front rotors. I also have a brand new set of Hoosiers R6 that I'll be willing to mount on one of the sets of wheels if desired. Replaced front clear bra and a new windshield is coming in early next week.

I also have a prettty much brand new looking aluminum trailer (Aluma) with a tire rack for $3,500, if anybody is interested. It has been upgraded with the latest model of removable fenders and LED lights all around.

Thanks
P.S. Miles now are 14,800, hey...after all it is my daily driver on Summer time....

I dont understand why most of you stored their 3 in the garage, drive the **** out of it, that's what they're build for.
