It was bought by an avid autocrosser, and he's very happy. That GT2 has way more mods on the suspension than my previous GT3, I told the new owner that he has 1 of the top 2 street legal 996 GT2 cars in U.S. Both cars were built by GMG Racing.
Worse thing is that I have to run the 2009 SCCA AutoX season against that monster with my lousy 7RS. It doesn't matter how many upgrades I put on the RS, Matt's 996 GT2 is a superior car everywhere.

3Gmotor took it beyond GMG's preparation.
On top of the suspension upgrades I did to my 6GT3, your car had the Moton MotorSports 3-way shocks (lighter than the ClubSport I had, and more adjustability and resolution), GT3RSR uprights (allow a lower ride height without upsetting the axles, avoid excessive bump steer, and lighter than the stock 6GT2 and 7GT2 uprights).
To duplicate those suspensions upgrades today will take over $30k
Yes, that car definitely sets the bar for a Porsche street car to a new level. It will be a challenge on the 2009 SCCA AutoX National events. I still have a few things in the Magic Bag of Tricks.

Well sorted is definitely an understatement... Matt I took your advice and I have all of the damn components, thing is I cannot find a shop to drastically change the car's dynamics, as good as it is now, I know it's nothing where it could be 
I wish GMG were closer, only solution might be to ship it out there and have it worked on, only thing is after a few events it goes a bit out of whack, then what do I do?!
My shop is sick with setting up Porsche in general, cups and so on, but it's not where it could or should be as I said!

Farnbacher-Loles is a lot closer and use a lot of GMG stuff, they do pretty fair work too
That is one hot GT2 gomez, can't wait to see you at the track this yr. I gotta make it to VIR at least once, looks like fun. I thought I was the only guy who drove to/from long distance tracks on cups!

BTW you have got to come to the Zone 2 VIR event in March (March 14th-16th) 3 day event makes it worth the trip

TTSurgeon, most likely will see you around the tracks in our area (LRP, Monticello, Pocono, WGI). That long haul to VIR is not my usual weekend 1000mi+ tour!

I smile at those who say 996 GT3 isn't good on the road.

I love driving mine to the track and just adjusting the air pressure, have fun, then turn on the ac and drive home.
Martin, I would check out FL to service your car, well worth it imo. When I had mine there he had a couple of Ruf cars having stuff done. Very professional outfit.
