Get a DME on the revs. Track cars are the best maintained cars. For example, my car gets an oil change and necessary service every four track events. Brakes get taken care of every 6-7 events and so on.

Track rats crawl all over their cars proactively looking for possible problems. They change the oil and brake fluid as often as they change their underwear, and usually have to have multiple, formal pre-track inspections every season. You won't find cars that are as well-serviced out among the normal people.
+100. If I were to buy a "used" car it will definitely be a "track ho" for the reasons cited above. I would never, never, never buy a bubble wrapped garage virgin!!!

930, that is one sweet 10 GT3 I see. How do you like it compared to the 07RS?
