100k budget...what would you get?
 

I am going to get another car and the budget is 100k plus or minus a few bucks. I am leaning towards a .1 GT3 and adding Sharky's 3.9!!!

996 cup :)

How much are the 3.9 conversions these days?

I would rather buy a 2010 GT3. It's a more well-rounded package.

If you must have a engine job, I would do a 4.0 liter. You get a complete engine rebuild by default since you have to take it down to the crank and the can build it up with race proven Porsche motorsports parts, Mahle pistons, etc. A basic 3.9 build doesn't require splitting the case.

2010-11 .2GT3

why? i like shark 3.9 and serge's 4.0 but you change cars way too fast. 3.9 and 4.0 takes longer to resell. 2010-11 GT3 you can get in and out quick.

at 100-110k budget, there is nothing close to it.

umm, simple. 997.2 GT3

I think if you post that question in different forums, you'll get a different answer every time. 997.2 GT3 for sure.

997.1 RS, more raw.

I have to come clean...I am leaning towards a green or black .1RS + Sharky's 3.9! If you have either car drop me a PM.

For 100k:

early production 997.1RS (roll bar mounts are already under carpet).

Would make sense if you could find a really high mileage example. So really worth being patient to find the perfect "donor" car.

I am in the same boat. I want a new car an I have 100K budget

Candidly, I don't see the appeal of the 3.9 conversion. The same money will get you the clubsport rear cage, the GT2 sport bucket seats, a set of track wheels, and a season's worth of tires. Much better money spent, if you ask me -- both in what you get and in what you can recover on resale.

I hardly ever wish I had a little bit more power when I'm on the track and certainly don't care when I'm on the street. It's a lot of money for a marginal improvement over a car that's already got adequate power.

Now, do I crave motons and hoosiers and solid engine mounts? hell yeah. but more power? nah.

What cars are you owning at the moemnt? still the 997.2 RS and the 997.1 TT cab? If you I would pick a 997.1 RS

No brainer! 3.9, you will never look back!:bowdown: trust me on this one.
