Well, let me start out by saying, I don't know much about the 997 models as I've always been a 993 guy, but after the release of the 2007 GT3 RS, I started to gravitate towards any GT3 I saw on the road. Now I'm in the hunt and wanted to get any feedback I could about this particular GT3 RS. Anyone know of this GT3? Has anyone on this board dealt with Ooley-and Blackburn? I’m only considering Green and the Orange GT3 RS.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Pretty sure that this car has been perpetually for sale for the last 8-9 months by a couple of different outfits. I don't have any first hand knowledge of the car but I assume it hasn't found a home because of the AC delete.

she is a rare bird due to the A/C delete..... been for sale for awhile now.

if you still got your beautiful 993 for those A/C days and you dont plan driving the RS much in the heat of the summer then it is a great car.

It is so great that you might wish you had A/C to use it more often.......

What would it cost to add ac ????????????

Nice turbo s !!

tcsracing1

to add A/C you would purchase another car....

chk if that car was first sold in CA. if so, i know its history. many owners.

if you want orange, you really should contact YLSHIH, he posted his orange 07 RS for sale, lower mileage than this green one. many of the bay area porsche ppl knows YLSHIH's car and it's cherry. i would take his over that green one anyday. price is very similar. and he's in SF bay like you.

never an issue with the A/C delete for me...last summer here in NYC area was pretty hot and humid as usual....car is wicked fast and with the breezes blowing in the window...no problemo....I had to order mine without....free HP gain to offset the addition of the rollbar and besides, A/C gives me rediculous respiratory issues....not selling it ,so no resale issues here....looks like a great car and if you are a purist and track addict, it would not matter anyway wrt a/c....you want hot??? try driving an RSR with factory lexan side windows and triple layer nomex head to toe, etc.....its all a matter of conditioning for me, I guess...buy the car if you want it...looks like a good deal for a low miler.

I think that was Josh's old car?? Then went to a couple of guys in Cali and then lost track of it... There are some good ones out there but I'd say for a daily d and in California, the A/C isn't all that heavy

This car has been for sale for almost a year from the same dealer in Indiana.
They bought the car at auction in California and it had 2 (?) previous owner before that.
I follow this car for a while and the dealer put it regularly for sale on different website. The price is getting cheaper and cheaper.
No options except PCCB. A/C delete.
The car sold about a month ago. But it magically reappeared 3 weeks ago so the deal didn't go through.
I tried to inquire about this car but never got a reply from the dealer.
I like it a lot. The no options and A/C delete is a plus for me.

Thanks for the all the great feedback, Rennlist and its members always comes through with good information. I've got some good history on the car now and feel that I can make a better deal elsewhere and may hold off a bit until the new GT3 w/the 3.8 liter is released this spring and from what I'm told, the RS will follow as I think this will effect the current 07 and 08 prices.

I'm currently considering two other GT3 RS, one in Fresno and the other Carmel, both orange.

I'll update everyone and may be back with more questions.


Thanks

that's what i guessed. not many low option, no xenon, no ac car. josh and i talked about how to option that car long ago. too bad he dumped it for CGT... well. i guess i would too

mooty

dont know the fresno car. but is the carmel one owned by an MD (jose, i believe) and heavily optioned? if so, it's been on the mkt for at least 6 months and price is dropping. a very nice machine with A LOT of options.

Speaking of CGT, and sorry to hijack, but I seem to recall people speaking of the $300K threshold, I came across this one last night:

Don't know much about them myself, but thought it might be of interest to someone.

Wow...same price as a Scud. Tough choice...or not?
