I cant tell what it is but this thing has major damage. Check out the rear pipes they are several inches over from where they are supposed to be. MAJOR DAMAGE!
but for 45K who cares?

This would be at least the 8th GT3 RS in the USA to have been in an accident or get destroyed.

Well lets see,

The rear bar doesnt line up right, the gapping around the rear lid and tail lights is all wrong, the tail pipes are inset way too far and off to the left a couple inches as pointed out by OG, and unless its an illusion, in the last photo the rear of the roof slopes more on the passenger's side, NOT to mention the fact that its had photos taken in a wreckers yard (great for the sales pitch). I'd say Max Power may have hit the nail on the head....

The $45k may be better spent if flushed down the toilet....

Doors look to be out too. Passengers glass is out at the top and the door is tight at the bottom. Drivers door is out of line also, maybe really out so the pic was taken with the window open.

No need to worry about lift off oversteer, I bet it will always be going sideways regardless of you intentions! lol...

could it be the same car? $45K is a good deal if the drive train is in good shape.

The person answering the phone number listed in the ad claims not his car, that makes sense since Sacramento is a 916 area code.

45k for a good motor seem even steep!
