If you have shopped for or installed upgrades as this car has, you understand the value proposition. DME readout is as good as they get.

Right-front of car hit pit wall in May 2010. As a result insurance company chose to "total" car even though damage was not severe (NO tub or frame damage!). I purchased it back with "Salvage" title. After complete and professional body repair (NO frame damage or misalignment!) I cleared the Salvage title and car now has a "Rebuilt" title. It is fully street legal and insurable. Car is currently registered/titled and insured with State Farm for street legal use. It carries the same OE warranty any other car.

So does mean that it's thrash time for the 4.0 RS or are you shopping for a dedicated track toy?

Time will tell

You really need a 997 Cup....you won't look back!

Targa Tim

Oh Pete,

I really really like to buy your blue/gold RS...





















Oops, I forgot I already have one in my garage.

Just curious if there is a particular reason why you always buy street cars and then modify for track use? Seems like a backwards approach when you are spending more and taking significant losses when you sell. Plus the wear and tear of track duty doesn't help resale of street cars. Clearly you have the means to properly support a cup. Just curious why you don't just buy one?

kyrocks

I thought you needed a new VIN to properly "clear" a salvage title.

George, that because Pete is a drive to track.. have fun and drive home guy. He enjoys the whole experience (I actually miss this now that I tow my race car to the track).

Also just like you it helps to build up to speed in a street car then dive into a cup and the learning curve is much steeper.

Different strokes for different folks!

savyboy

There are very good ponts in what you put forward. For a certain owner I would wholly agree with you. And there is an equally compelling argument to "trackify" a street car. There are valid and rational arguments for either approach. There were specific personal reasons why this car happened and that is better left to a discussion over tasty beverages

Not true. A new VIN means the car was retubbed as some wrecked race cars are. The damage of this car was nowhere remotely close to needing to be retubbed. Prospective buyers ask me for details via email. A "salvage" title car must be properly rebuilt and documented as such before it can then be cleared and titled as a "rebuilt". Most folks don't understand the process and/or are not willing to document it to the extent that DMV requires. Some types of damage can't be taken from Salvage to Rebuilt. I would never buy a flood car. But for a buyer who is willing to understand the initial damage and review the repair results, this kind of title can offer a real bargain.

There is a lot of misinformation (warranty voided, uninsurable, etc etc) put forth by people who aren't willing to inform themselves Any interested buyer is welcome to ask me for proof it is currently registered licensed and insured as any other car is.

The bottom line here is that this is a car that is in excellent condition by any measure and has mods that many folks would like to have. And the car with the mods installed ($$$$) is offered at a compelling discount to its replacement value as-is. For someone that value proposition makes sense and they will find a great deal in what is being offered. This car has the vast majority of its life left to give and does not require its fuel cell to be drained after every track day and $30,000 transmission and engine rebuilds every 40 hours.

savyboy

Shahin, you are exactly correct. Well at least for last year when much of the upgrades were done

This car would make an excellent "Cup Trainer" which is very low cost to operate and will always be street legal whereas a Cup can never be street legal.

If Tim, who is a good customer, didn't already have the same color combo.... oh wait, still a little rich for me. Congrats on the new 4.0 and GLWS.

Cheers

Laguna_Dude

Haha. I hear you. For me, it was clear for my situation after i took a beating on my RS.

Laguna_Dude

I know. But for a guy that seems to have serious dough.. from his stable (RS, Spyder, 4.0, GT2-Rs, etc.... I would think an arrive and drive option would be optimal (vs. trailering or driving a track car to and from). I would never do it any other way again... it's like flying.. once you experience 1st class, it's hard to fly coach. haha. I do see the upside in the street-track car though. But I would still do that in an arrive and drive. The benefit being you would be slower vs. race car and would enjoy the street-car run group more vs. being in a fast car with slower cars., etc. etc.

P.J.S.

Good Luck Pete!

modding street cars is fun and hands-on. arrive and drive could possibly sometimes be called 'disconnected' perhaps????
i've never done arrive and drive, but a lot of the times, i see the driver sitting in a chair talking on the mobile, while others fettle and get involved in the car.....it's like he is disconnected slightly from the experience. it's like going to a bbq and sitting indoors and watching tv while the meat is cooking outside. sure, you gonna eat that meat, but you didn't get involved in the cooking process even if just to watch and smell it happening.

glws, pete, top car!
