Default Black GT3 - PCCB's & Track Ready - A Beauty...

The lease on my daily driver is coming up. Hate to do it but need to sell my black GT3 beauty to fund my new daily wheels…

Fully track ready 2007 Black GT3 Loaded with Ceramic Brakes & full complement of track options.
Car has 13K miles with 950 of those on track, all in last 6 months. All non factory track options were installed in July/August 2008. The car is in great shape, was garaged at all times, professionally and regularly maintained. Recent Oil change and brand new brake pads front and back.

Let’s start with factory options:

Black Full leather
Self-dim Mirrors & rain Sensor
PCM 2.1
Bi-Xenon Package
Aluminum Foot rest
Heated front seats
Ceramic Composite brakes – PCCB
Sound package plus
Fire Extinguisher
Chrono Package Plus

Original List Price with all above mentioned options $128,405

Now to the additional goodies that were installed in last 6 months:

Champion RS-98 Wheels (over $5K option) These wheels look great and result in weight savings of approx 8 lbs per wheel!
Rennline Pedals and Floor boards (driver & passenger)
Quick release steering wheel – Horn button custom installed.
Recaro XL seats
Full cage
GMG Bypass (Great sound and 15 lbs of weight savings where it counts…)
GT3 Cup Spoiler (Superior to standard spoiler and looks better too…)
Schroth Harness (driver & passenger) Hans device capable. Regular belts are also of course fully functional for daily driving.
Video Camera Mount (cage)
All of the above options installed in last 6 months - $15K of additional value

Asking $95K.

Anyone who may be interested needs to make a pretty quick decision. I’ve already lined up an alternate path to sale which would entail bringing the car back to stock, with all the options sold separately. All things being equal would rather see someone on this forum take advantage of everything that has been done to this car…

If you are planning to buy a 997 GT3 and track it, you will be hard pressed to get into a GT3 in this great a condition, with these options at anything approaching this price. Also IMHO the car looks great in black.

PM me if interested. Please, serious inquiries only. I can take & send additional photos etc. Thanks for looking.

Most likely an S4 or S6 Audi quatro...I'm tired of dealing with snow etc in my current BMW. You'd never know they get snow in Germany from the way BMW's handle in winter conditions...

Given I learned the new market the hard way (or my MB dealer did) this is the first GT3 I have seen priced below what I think its worth. This is a GREAT price for this car as it sits. Spectacular.
Mine just sold for 94K without all the goodies except for PCCB and Fikse wheels.
This will sell fast.

Can someone (obviously not the greedy bastards running this site) inform me how to post a new thread without getting the "The requested URL /hws/dell-usuk-rel/afe was not found on this server." message????????

Thanks.

Welcome. This is covered here in detail and there was a recent thread on exactly this topic -- just look at the thread titles.

eg. https://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-...-vs-gt3rs.html

Primary differences and only ones that matter are:
1) Bigger/different rear spoiler which provides considerably more downforce than regular GT3. Front is slightly different as well to balance with the rear. This likely only matters if you are on a track that has some high speed straightways
(well over 130+ mph)
2) Lightweight flywheel
3) Widder rear end footprint

That's it. First two out of three you can upgrade yourself on a regular GT3 for around $5-$6K and save a ton of $$$ since the difference between the two models at current market prices is at least $30-$35K. IMHO the wider rear end does not make that big a difference but RS owners may disagree. Hope this helps.
