Default Cobalt Blue 2007 997 GT3 from PA inquiry

A buddy of mine is looking at a cobalt blue 2007 997 GT3. The car originally came from PA and was owned by the CEO of Pep Boys.
The original story was it had no track use but more information is appreciated.
It was ordered with a fire bottle, had a carbon rear wing (the blade, not uprights) and front toe links done, the OEM rotors were pretty cracked with 8000+ miles, not sure about pads.
Any history on the car from anyone who may have done a PCA or other track day anywhere realistically near PA and may know something is appreciated.

My friend had the OBD II data downloaded. No overspeeds. The report looks good with one small question I had. There was a line in it (a 36 page report) that said "Time since power failure: .2 hours"

I find that curious, basically 12 minutes before the printout was produced the car logged a power failure.

Call me suspicious but it was billed as no track time, clearly saw some and I just want to help this guy fill in any blanks.

Sounds like tracked at least a bit to me, but no overrevs and the fact that they don't hide the rotos by putting new ones on makes it sound good to me.

Power failure just sound like a dead battery to me.

Was it Manny, Moe or Jack that owned the GT3? Really depends.
