It's just some stickers and a nod on the Monroney that makes them different. To me, that's not worth paying anything more for the WG car.

The great thing about the GB .2RS is that you can play with graphics all day long and some many different graphic colors work with that color. A great color for a car. Orange sucks for that reason and a few more.
They are asking 299K so yes, overpriced.

Looks like the racing harnesses were removed, exhaust changed, and pedals replaced. Guessing this car saw track time with the first owner since pads were replaced at 12k miles which is unlikely on street driven PCCBs.
Looks like an orig steel rotor car. I'd just assume all RS were tracked. Why else would people have bought them before they were so coveted?

I assume the same, not sure why everyone gets their panties in a bunch when they hear a GT3 has been tracked...... ohhh wait, its because the are trying to buy a cars and coffee spec

Wanting a GT3 that hasn't seen a track is like asking for an Only fans girl to be a virgin.

Every nick to my PPF, scrape on the splitter, scratch on the undercarriage, nick on the wheel and fart in the seat was done while I was driving on a twisty highway. When I take the car to driver events it's probably the cleanest usage and articulation "Stretching of the legs" I can do... maybe the brake pads and rotors might complain, I just don't get it.

Maybe there were race car driver wannabe driving demons back in 2010-2015 that everyone is talking about?

Possibly, but as long the car checks via PPI out and doesn't have terrible over revs at range 4 and up I don't see why people have such an issue. I track my cars but probably maintain them better than the garage queens, so in some cases I think you're better off buying a GT3 from someone like me than a car that sits in a garage and barely serviced because that owner doesn't think they need to if miles are not being put on it.

I guess I should rephrase, expecting no track time on a GT3 is like expecting an OF girl to be a virgin.

yeah I agree I got 40+ track days on my m4 I also DD for years and it has 45k miles and is in great shape for the most part

The issue is people just really like to Frankenstein these things and start painting and bolting on weird **** and crash these cars for some reason lol

The Frankenstein and massive mods I can see as a issue for buyers. But if the cars pretty close to stock and well maintained then why not. Service records are everything on cars like this. I didn't hesitate to wire money for my 7.2 GT3 after seeing extensive service records for over a decade, its seen some track days but the two previous owners of my car are here on RL and probably just as crazy as I am about service.

huh? It’s an original PCCB car. Why do people get all bent out of shape anytime someone mentions that a car has been tracked. Is this something that should be kept a secret? The more facts the better. Let the buyer decide if it matters to them.

Btw looks like the 997.2 in meteor grey from Brooklyn sold:
View this post on Instagram

does anyone have experience (good or bad) on that dealer? They seem to get some really interesting cars in stock but their Instagram vibe is pretty strong and not sure about what that says of the prior owners of the cars they stock

You see it as a bad thing that they have a strong following on Instagram?
