I highly doubt this. The 996 GT2 in the collection is questionable, for example. Has a vinyl wheel from a Carrera instead of leather, wheel finishing from later GT cars, and a few other little things. Once you start to pick apart some of the cars, they're not all great examples, it feels like some he just bought to fill out the collection quickly.

Could you name the things you noticed on the 996 GT2. If you are referring to the vinyl airbag cover (as the rim is clearly leather) from my research I believe it to be correct for this car. 996 GT2 is not my area of expertise, but looked at one that’s part of the Porsche museum (or belongs to PCNA) and others that have been for sale and it’s seems about half have vinyl airbag covers.

The owner did an article with Total 911 a few years ago that I’ll attach.

Here’s another example with a vinyl airbag cover:

Should go higher.

All 996 GT2’s came standard with full leather, but some still have a vinyl airbag cover. These are a few later gen GT2’s I was able to find with this.

This one is on consignment, and there are a handful of other mods beyond what is in the description. Tow hook still in place, bumper is painted red around the grille opening, red painted mirrors, H&R springs, OZ wheels, red roll bar, red seat belts and gauge faces, intake, muffler bypass. A fender liner had its edge ripped off, rear bumper looked like maybe it also had some paint work, and the front lip and under aero was pretty well scraped up or gone. I think it's going to be there for a long time at the ask.

Im far from an instructor level driver but I didn’t find the .1 and .2 too terribly different performance wise. Zero chance I’d swap my .1 Cobalt for a .2 car, but I’m clearly bias.

if anyone wants to see pictures of the damage feel free to message me
Hey, Would love to see the pictures and PPI if you don't mind sharing it?

thanks for the vin correction. Edited mine above. I copied/pasted from the photo and clearly Apple software didn’t do a perfect job.
