That seems about ok for a 3.8L RS. 2010-11 GT3 (non RS) is around 95-100k and a 2007-08 GT3 (3.6L) is right around $65-75k

3.8RS reliable? Funny trakcar!

Many instances witnessed of kaboom or seized engines and kaboom transmissions, plus departing wheels, failing PP, failing clutch discs, cooking brakes, cracked exhausts, and the repair costs are gigantic, and the never ending CEL.

4.0RS seems reliable, as any parked car or Cars & Coffee car. Let's see how many track miles a 4.0RS can handle before the engine or tranny goes kaboom.

You talking about the ACR-X's or the Comp Coupes? I know Keating is really fast in the X, and that Montour guy. The Comp Coupes are a whole different animal.

For minimal depreciation and few mods you get the most DE driving out of a GT3 for the $$ bar none. Not the fastest but fast enough for me ad I still have a nice street car for Monday morning after a simple wheel swap.
My experience, too. Especially the former...

If Dave says that he can drive, I can help.

I just removed 1000 posts from Rad and added them to vette6autox's account. Now it will be easier for Peter to take him seriously.

And don't worry about him, he won't even notice.
As you can see from the following post, he is posting drunk.

Just like Trakcar 3.0 and 3.1 it will just keep running and running. You have to be somewhat gentle with these cars, you can break anything if you try hard enough. These vario cam bolts backing out is a bit unbecoming but they have warranties them all..

Anything gentle and driven in slow motion is long lasting, including Kia, Hyundai and Yugo.

I do keep a head count of kaboom engines and kaboom transmissions in just the Florida crowd and just a couple of years, these issues affect resale. Try selling a car with a replaced engine in the open market.

That won't make a Barbie car go any faster, not even with Ken driving.

More Winterfest appetizers for the mighty Fiat, yummy!!!
