I ask about rebuilding, because I see a lot of cars being tracked and buying an used GT3 that has been tracked a lot, is different than the GT2, that only revs 7000 (I shift even earlier due the power band) and can take 600whp for A LONG LONG time.
That is the only thing that concerns me. Unless you have warranty or CPO, rebuild is not an option, at least not for me.
I dont think I have ever seen anyone on either the 6 or 7 forum mention an engine rebuild outside of the RMS issues ... so either no one is talking or these things are bombproof given the miles they all have now

was there any update of that story where freshly bought 996 gt3 started pumping oil out at its very first track day?

i understand more of 'rebuild' questions for older engine would be in area of coolant hoses, oil lines, etc. 'infrastructure' maintenance issues than of actual internals rebuilds.

I remember hearing a story of a guy in Eurpoe with a 996 GT3....100K and tracks it

My RS will be with me until 100K

try this.
chase reter or izzone in 4th gear 8000 rpm.
then for fun, shift into 1st gear and let the clutch out.
it's pretty fun.
but you will go sideways...

that's ZING'g the motor.

I talked to him, but I don't think is the right car for me, I'm considering a few other options.

Try to get one with low options, I wish mine only had radio and A/C

Full leather = weight
Navigation = weight

Anyone would like to trade interior parts? I'll do it for only labor charge

No, thank you!

I meant to shifting from 4th to 1st, not to chasing Reter and Randy part. I'll do my best to chase them down the track
