Default Take a look at this GT2 FS

http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...07/overview/#1

This is the first GT2 I have seen with HRE carbon fiber wheels. Look to be p40 carbon fiber wheels. Chicago motor cars is pretty crooked and most likely this car has a story. And over priced regardless of those upgrades minus the wheels.

Someone spent a lot of money to turn their GT2 into an RS with all the exterior upgrades.

Interesting find - those do indeed look like our wheels.

Looks like this car is back on the market, it was sold in March 2014 by Starwood in Dallas, Tx to a members dad on 6speedonline. Here are much better pictures that show all the work that went into this car:
http://inventory.starwoodmotors.com/...exas/10564426/

I had inquired with the person that bought it back then about buying some of the spares that came with the car but he wasnt interested in selling anything and wanted to keep it all together for the next buyer. Looks like the new add with increased price doesnt include any of the spares, that can be seen in the original add.

By spares you mean he had spare parts? What parts? They asked 155k now CMC is asking 180? Little ridiculous.

EDIT: I see in the pictures he had tires, the doors, mats, and lip as spare parts. I think what he did to the interior doors was stupid. The stock doors were fine, especially with all the extra stitching. Also I don't like the MAcarbon sport chrono. He should have gotten the yellow stitched leather one from option exclusive. Also the RS plaque is stupid. It's not an RS. But other than that this is a very very nice GT2. I can't speak for his mod choice though. Personally I would have gone with the trusted brands for power upgrades and either akrapovic or quicksilver for another titanium exhaust. Or kline.

Also I'm wondering why in the first like 5k miles the car was serviced every 100 miles. Seems like it was tracked extensively.

It's a GT2. The owner spent big money to make it look like an RS with OEM parts it seems.

Like the looks, don't like the price. The $155K price if you wanted everything on the car is a real asking price in this market (assuming DME and PPI checks out).

He claims 3009lbs that is 1365kg, I don't believe this even with no fuel and fluids it is a lie IMO
