I've gotta ask, with your old car available at a good price and with all the R&D pretty much done and sorted on that car why start over and spend all the money again?
If I remember correctly you pretty much drive the GT3 all the time so was it just getting a fresh, low mile car that made it worth starting over?

Congrats Peter, glad you've made a decision with pending mods 
Whatever you have planned I'm sure will be great.
I will give you a piece of advise.
DO NOT do anything I'm doing because according to the expert Mr. NJ-GT my build will be a POS. So as a fragile feeble little old man I'm worried.
Sure wouldn't want to see you make the same mistake.

Yes, Orbit car was a good price for me and Orbit sweetened the deal to documet a comprehensable track pack upgrade to a virgin car. For now Pack 1, Pack 2 to follow later. Nothing wrong with my car, but just wanted to start with fresh everything again and I secretly like all the baller options like Nav and radio

When VW Group allows me to use it at the track without a void warranty, when they go back to dry-sump and 5-lugs, or when the 2007 RS drops to $60k, whichever is first.
The last 2 cars I bought are Porsches, and still have them.
