Looks like a no-holds-barred upgrade of the brakes and suspension. Sad truth is, few buyers will be willing to pay a meaningful premium over a stock GT3 for aftermarket goodies...

Awesome car, but the whole use of word "invest" should never ever be applied in this forum. It's akin to saying I invested in a lap dance.

i would pay to convert back to stock and sell it plain jane. sell all the parts for 50% of cost to open market.

i assume the labour to swap parts back to stock wouldnt be more than the value of the parts?

+1 LOL ...

my guess is he will be lucky to get MSRP ... and anyone that would pay for the mods is essentially taking on the eventual depreciation back to zero ...

only upside is you get the mods "out of the box" ... which I suppose is worth something!

I've seen this car a few times around LA. I think the guy uses it as a daily driver. Had a decal that read WCGT3 on the back deck. Its a hell of a car. I wonder how it works as a road car. My experience with going bonkers like this with previous cars didn't work out so well as a DD. After all, real race setups are never good for road use.

I dropped about 40k+ into my 993 C2S to bring it up to RS specs ... it was an awesome car but brutal on the street ... sold it for KBB ... zero return on the "investment" YMMV
